    You should just stick with the GP drive it till it explodes, save some money, wait till you can get an LS1. But sounds like you need to do the research mod before anything.

    Yes a 10 bolt is the rearend. Do you mean getting a Ford 9" on? Yes you can, but you will have modify the axles/drive shafts etc. I would suggest you start researching if that's the route you plan on taking.

    yes it is, but switching to a 12 bolt or 9in rear will cost a pretty penny

    well you can get an Ls1 but just do little things to it, and bolt on (headers, exhaust, TB, CAI) with a manual and call it a day- will still give a number of cars a run for their money

    My honest opinion is don't buy another vehicle if the GP is fine. Sure you want speed and so on, but it always comes at a cost. If your budget is 5k and say you spend 5k on a different vehicle. You mod when you have some spare money. So what happens when the rear end goes out, or you spin a bearing. The cost to repair that is going to surpass the cost it would if it was a GP. The most expensive part for a GP is the transmission which can be had used for a decent price. Save the 5k or turbo the GP and if you do it right figure 4k. Built tranny, turbo, manifolds, plumbing, so on. That would still give you some money left for whatever goes wrong you know you have some to spend to fix it.

    And smile it's Blacktooth Grin!

    Unless the GP was having problems that wasn't worth fixing I would just until the wheels fall off and meanwhile continue saving and then have money incase something expensive does decide to go out on another car.
