Should I swap the motor or work on the v6?

T3/t4 hybrid would be perfect that set up.
Seriously though, if that idea didn't slap you in the face and spark interest don't do it. You'd be in deep on a reliable turbo build. You could use that money on something else.
 
That car is rare now...thought I'd throw that in there. Original i6 cars will be going up in price with all of us raping every car we come across. Maybe post it and see what you can get for it..... Then buy a body and build a 393. Not saying its worth a million bucks or as much as an original 5.0 but someone somewhere would love to restore that thing.
 
A v8 will require k member, tyranny, tyranny mounts, might as well upgrade spindles and control arms, 8.8 rear, new drive shaft, yadda yadda yadda...

Best bet is to get a clapped out 87-93 and swap all the goodies over. Otherwise keep that straight 6 chugging along.
Best advice you're going to get. If that doesn't fit within your budget, or skill set, you probably should consider selling the car.

The swapping of the engine itself is the easy part. It's the "suporting" parts is what'll kill ya.
