Never heard of it but I remember the SVX being a heavy car, not sure how benefitial it would be......

It is possible but I'm skeptical.

Much easier to supercharge the SVX. They have a pretty stout drivetrain from what I've been told.

Ahh..... yea I remember watching a speedtv show about them. They said it was a great car but could stand some brake upgrades.

I own an SVX.. INHO you could getaway with a 2.5..and run lower octane. If you want the performance..a turbo would not go amiss...
