I agree. This isn't a honda swap. DSM's don't swap that easy. There are better projects to do inorder to have braging rights. A turbo will give as much power with a better weight ratio and therfore better performance.

If I recollect right, there were JDM Lancers and Colts with V6 engines, not 3.8 L though. I will dig and see if I can confirm.
Yes, first with the 6A10 then the 6A11. A far cry from the 3.8L above though.

Holy thread bump batman! lol

On a more related note, that is awesome! I would like to see how much power it makes, and what the final cost in doing that swap was.
