I'm leaning towards an LS swap at this very early stage, but nowhere near decided.

Possibly rebuild this stronger with Supercharger? Hmmm They're the top two at this stage.

So, I have a similar issue to consider.
What my thinking is so far is, top choice would be the 3.0l Turbocharged V6 diesel from a WK2, great engine, more economical and faster than our Powertechs, or, second choice would be to buy a long motor, then rebuild it with all of the forged racing crank, rods, pistons, performance cams (or at least HO or 2007+ cams), new throttle body and a supercharger.
The second idea has a lot of virtue for me as it doesn't require huge amounts of fab work (which I don't have the room for) and I can build it on the bench and then just swap motors.

I originally wanted to go to a performance diesel but it looks to be too much drama atm.
