I'm wanting to build a engine from the ground up for this engine. I've heard a 3800 would fit in I'm more wanting something that will bolt on to current trans as I don't want to do much trans work what motor should I use I want least 450+ hp
 
You want 450+ HP, I think you may want to sell your car and buy something else that can hold a small block Chevy V8. On the 3.8 swap, it's doable but you need the PCM and wire harness too.
 
I'm wanting to learn mechanics its my first car so kinda seditmental its a much down the road thing but I just wanna know the best motor I can put in . plus I heard the 3800 is a very durable motor. I've seen em 550+ on YouTube so I think a ground up 3800 build off a supercharges motor ( the supercharged is a more durable block) do a good turbo I may not get the 450 but it'd push that baby. What would the trans work be like
 
probably would need one of the performance kits from B&M, TCI, etc.

I plan on doing full all black repaint body kit hood scoop roof scoop wing rims tinted windows interior re done. And I want a motor that's got some balls a high performance built 3800 L67 Supercharged would do that I just needs to figure out everything bout this swap or better option for motor swap
 
the engine just doesn't drop in, it requires lot of modifications to the front subframe. You will need a shop capable of doing the work and lots of money.
