just a little opinion on the subject as well, if you're going to do a supercharged swap, you might as well go for a S2 L67, more power stock. i mean, you might as well if you're gonna put out that effort.

also, be sure your subframe is up to the power..if you have any rust around your rear subframe mounts, the extra power would most likely break it free.

also theres more aftermarket parts for the S2 then the S1 but both are great motors either way.

Not true. Only thing not available for the S1 is a Intercooler.

more to the point of a member named Randman1, he did a 97 l67 swap into a 90 SSE

But yes it can be done. keep us informed if you do.
