I am wondering what to do to my '87 Notchback, i would V8 it but i would need a new trans as well and it is too much work for me, so i was looking at supercharging, anybody know anything about them, the brands, how they work, if its a good idea? i would love to hear opinions and thoughts! Thanks. <3

You would V8 it? So its a 4 banger, and you're looking at a blower system? Im not personally aware of any blower system available for a 2.3L. I guess if you wanted to do something to it and not V8 it, you could always try to find an old turbocoupe, SVO or Merkur Engine and use that as its turbo'd. If its a 4Cyl 5Spd you can use the same transmission, you just have to change a couple things, its a T-5 Tranny, then you could V8 it and it wouldnt be that hard of a swap, especially if you went carb'd then it'd be real simple. Those are my thoughts...Or save up your money and use that car as a DD, and buy another 5.0L notch and use your dd as a parts car too.
