Hi! New here

Hi guys! Sorry for the late reply. I found the model number for the engine. It's pretty worn out, but I think it says G635 or GG35? I'm also trying to post pictures of Susan (name of my truck ^-^), but I can't figure out how to do so. But here's the list of things I wanna do to her. I'm pretty handy and can do most if not all the work myself, but would like your opinions on how I should go about it. This is kind in highest to lowest priority, but it's pretty flexible. Also I have a pretty small budget but will get more with paychecks

-Engine/Drivetrain: I wanna rebuild this engine and add a turbo to get it up to 100+HP, or swap it for a turbo'd I4. I rebuilt the transmission a couple years ago so the only thing that'd need to be changed there is the flywheel and disc.Oh! IT HAS TO BE A MANUAL! XD

-Paint: Right now Susan is White outside. Originally it had paint splatter decals (in red, pink, and dark blue) and I throughly enjoy that look and would like to replicate it but modernize it a bit. I'm thinking a dark blue base and a digital style graphic in white, red, and/or pink going along the sides.

-Interior: Inside it's blue with a bench seat. I would swap out that for 2 bucket seats (ideally from an old montero), get them reupholstered, and design and build a center console.

-Brakes and suspension: I really want to convert the rears to discs if possible. If not just getting better brakes on there would be great. Suspension is also a bit soft and has a lot of rebound. I replaced the shocks 2 years ago, but they weren't great so I'd like to swap all the shocks and springs.

-Body: There's a lot of rust, dings, and dents from the 30 years add the 3 drivers she's had excluding me. 2 of them were really rough with her so it made her even more quirky and beat up. The cab, bed, tailgate, and side panels are in really good condition barring some rust, but the hood, front bumper, and rear left panel have a lot of rust and have been impacted in pretty hard. No structural damage I could see. I wanna replace those parts and design and print a custom body kit using ASA and my 3d Printer.

I'm sorry this is really long but it's easiest for me to get it out in one shot bc I'm very forgetful If you guys have any input or advice, I'd really appreciate it! ^-^
