Who wants to make a 340is?

[Ryan...]

Plus those old V8s are heavy, and the weight distribution would be totally outta whack...

its definitely not a reasonably easy affair, but can be done.

I don't have the money either. I would probably have to get a new tranny, fuel pump, the whole 9 yards. Maybe in the future when I'm a millionaire with nothing to do. It would be awesome if I could do it though

your fuel pump would be fine. Bosch pumps do work. For my turbo build, I'm not upgrading my turbo, it'll just automatically up the duty cycle of the pump. Which means I get to save more money, temporarily.

I think it would be easier to turbo my I4. I want to rebuild my engine and turbo it but I have no idea how to do a rebuild.

Read your Bentley Manual!

dude take some time to look through the whole book, its covers almost everything you'd ever need to know. There's a reason why they call them bibles haha.

My Chilton manual rocks for the most part.

First, the swap has been done before, and theres plenty of information on it, google is your friend.

Second, if you are unsure about rebuilding an engine, a swap is probably out of the question
