    Just bought a 04 gtp with a blown engine knocking doesn't sound to consistent with lower end. Could I just use a l26 lower end for it be good? Or find a charged engine to replace? There are tons of n/a engines on Craig's around here for good prices.

    If you put a NA bottem end in you need to do other supporting mods to run the high comp block.

    Its better to find a L67 or L32 bottem end and make it a straight swap with no hassles.

    Headers and a tune mainly. Colder plugs and tstat arent needed if kept on the stock. But just know the NA L26 is not the best block for boost and you may need a 4.0 pulley to run it like a 3.8 on a L32 block.

    I bought the 04 in my sig with a blown motor and stuck an L26 in it. You'll more than likely need to do some mods to accommodate for the higher compression block. Or, find yourself a L67 or L32.

    Or, the best option of all......sell the car to me.
