Default Turbo DSM or keep my Camaro ?

Ok here's the situation I got a 84 camaro V6 I belive it's a 2.8 or some crap like that. The camaro is in great shape and body and stuff is emaculate,sorta no rust or anything paint is a little dingy but can be buffed out with a little work. I got a 350 block that I tore down and ready to rebuild. I have no tranny to fit it or anything but then again I just got started with it. Now here's my problem my mom wants to move to an apartment complex from the trailor park we live now. Like every complex there is no place to rebuilt an engine let alot put an engine stand. Not to forget all the trouble I'd get in for taking up more then one parking space for even doing the swap. On top of it all I sorta don't hav the funds to do teh swap let alone a job since they are'nt really hiring any 15yr olds at performance shops becuase of insurance. So my question is should I sell it and go for a AWD turbo DSM or some sort of turbo DSM. Cause I really like turbo cars and what they are capable of. I also think it would be a little bit cheaper on not only gas but to modifly even though it wont give me no where near the amount of torque and HP the 350 would when I'm done. So could any of you guys give me any advice as to what you would do or not do ? And can you give me some up and downs of owning a turbo AWD or just turbo DSM ? I know alot of it is similer to owning any other turbo car I use to own a Turbo Z but had to sell it. So if you guys could help me out it would be great.

4: it might have more HP and TQ then a dsm, but will it beat a dsm? doubt it...

if you treat them well and keep them maintained you wont have any problems, but like any car you make fast, more power means more chance of something breaking..

It will take more money to get that car into the 13's than ya think.

Get an AWD DSM and with a few bux it will be in the 13's and reliable. Try and get much faster and the reliable part goes out the window.

You decide.
