I wouldent do either! the 6.9s are gaining value and It is my belief that big bucks will be lost if you mod the engines.. Get a 450 or something else to mod?

That car is so classy. I would leave it and just restore the paint work!

If you do a search on this site:http://www.m-100.cc/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=5

...you'll find both a turbo'd 6.9 and a supercharged 6.9 on that forum.
