Asking a bunch of nonsensical people like us what is feasable is not very sagacious.

Douglas Vincent would be the man to talk to. Strangely enough, he goes by the handle - douglas vincent.

Doug has the sick Benz SC in his wagon. I would love to do something like that to my legacy but I don't have his mad fab skills.

feasible? relatively inexpensive? those are quite objective terms. There's nothing you could think of doing to an EJ engine that hasn't already been done. If you're going to worry about feasibility and cost then you either shouldn't be doing it, or are quite handy with a welder and crazy enough to try anything. The later is most likely not the case or you probably wouldn't have fielded the question. Giving you the benefit of the doubt though, I turbocharged my wagon, all custom junk yard parts and still have less than a grand into it including buying the car. Not sure what Doug spent, but he kept the cost down since he seems to be a handy fabricator.

it's all relative
