Looking to buy new motor or boost current

[Darkhorse97]

have a 97 gt with 100k. Like everyone else looking for more daily driving hp. Want to spend about 3k ,so what's the best way to do this? Go with an old school sbf , boost what I have or get a newer long block? Thanks in advance

it depends on the motor but a simple supercharger is some bolt on fun and they can be found used for that range.

Ok so what should I expect from a sc on my stock 97 gt? Seems to be the most straight forward move. Is kenne bell or vortec better?

Kenne bell is nice the one on my cobra is very good
Horse power is good
Easy to bolt on

kenny bell, vortech, procharger are all designed to bolt on. I am not a great mechanic by any means but the vortech instructions were complete with good enough pics to make it pretty easy to follow. They each have their good/bad points. Kb suffers from heat soak once the block is hot, vortech's design makes it hard to intercool, and prochargers price with the intercooler included scares a lot of people off. I went with vortech after finding a great deal on a NIB kit that someone got and then wrecked the car.
