I'm really looking forward to riding along your journey through K-swap land. If it works as well as I hope it does, there's small chance I'll do it and leave the car NA. Losing 100 pounds off the front axle, over 200whp, with a bulletproof engine. What's not to like.

Stock. How deep are your pockets?
Any engine can be built to be a beast. I'm going with a cheaper route. In hindsight, if the Kpower K-swap was available back in the day then I may have considered it sooner or before going with the supercharger, but it wasn't. A built motor would have been wise too, but I feel like the reliability with a built motor isn't great, even at the power I was at, and most likely, power would go up, and maybe I am mistaken, but reliability at 450whp with a built engine seems to be on par with the reliability at 350whp with a stock engine, which is to say, iffy. There are piston and rod K24's making 700whp, which would likely require sleeves/closed deck/full build on the FA20, and even then, I don't know if the reliability would be the same. This means the reliability at 450whp or something on a basic build will be better. The K24 typically will do 450whp on stock internals, but some push more out of it. If it breaks then $750 for a new engine, and parts are cheap.

If you feel comfortable vlogging you could document it on YouTube and setup a Patreon. I’ve been following someone doing a Subaru EZ swap into an aircooled Porsche pretty religiously and he’s gotten some sponsors out of it

I do have a Youtube, but it was never meant to make money. I post basic videos with basic updates like once or twice a year updates. Also, there are far too many build videos and how-to's on Youtube for Kswaps and stuff. It would just be white noise, and I do have the patience or time to make a decent video blog with everything. I rarely like to even take pictures, nor do I have any other social media, except this and Youtube.

Sell the charger and go back to NA. If you can't do the engine swap it's a no brained. NA+e85 is still a great combo in this car
Ops should have read the whole thread. What do you think the cost of the kswap will be? Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

Not specifically for the 86, but yes, several companies are working on it including, believe it or not, GM.
