it is possible.... but the cost of doing it would be very high. Would need so many parts to do so. Would be neat to see done!

After reading it, I have one question. Won't that programmer mean you can't mess with anything at all? Because you're receiving a pre-programmed ECU substitute that you can use. So if you add mods, there's no ECU to tune? Correct me if I'm wrong but that's how I understood it.

For the amount of money and effort. I'd just boost the 6 and upgrade everything to make it a beast of a car (or just buy an ss lol)

I would do it after the engine finally goes and if the frame is still good. By that time you could probably put Mr. Fusion in the car.

Don't Sleep on My V6

Only way I see some money saved doing this is if you have a M6 which doesn't require a rear end swap.
