you would probably find that you would end up spending more, trying to get the ge to run right with less than ideal power, i dont think it would be worth it, trying to source seperate parts etc. for a $1000 if you shopped around you would pick up a 4agze with all it's bits, and if you were lucky you might even get a ze gearbox as well. in the long run i say it would be better to go the ze way. from all the things i've read bout forcing the ge from the states (it is possible), is that they dont last long as they were not built for boost. the hks turbo kit that came out for the ge would only run a max of 5psi for engine relibility. some of them have run the ge with more boost, but i can assure you they spent way more than $1000 to get it there.
