It seems from what you guys have said it'd be cheaper to drop in a v8 than soup up the i-6. I think having the 6 in there all souped up would be pretty bad ass, but I'm also only 16 and on the worlds lowest budget possible.

Well stick with what you have then and drive it. Being 16 and broke means putting projects on hold til you have space to work, alternate transportation, money and knowledge (not saying you don't have it but stay here and you'll learn everything you need to know about straight 6's and V8's). If you get started tearing that truck apart more than likely it will stay torn apart. Learn as much as you can before tearing it open.

Swapping in a V8 would be cheaper in the end IMO and more potent on the street. Start by buying a core from the junk yard, and then save for the rebuild.

Start mowing those yards, that's how I paid for the motor in my first truck.
