*slaps himself in the head*
1)where did u bring your gemini from?? u sure u didnt buy it??
2)piazza, sr20, fj20, turbo any of the g series SOHC engines, turbo any of the DOHC's, turbo a 2.3 rodeo, turbo a 2.6 rodeo.
3)some people need ot make there own mind up. your choice. but let me guess, u want it done for $1000?

give more info. u could put a turbo V12 in if u want, but we dont know what type of cash uhave and what u are willing to do,
do u want it legal? do u want it as a drag car? track car?
blah blah blah
