My engine has a blown head gasket and it is knocking pretty bad and I want to replace the engine with a engine from a Pontiac Grand Prix that is super charged and I wanted to know if this is a possibility or will it require a lot of modification?

Have not done it but it seems this guy has. I would say there are a few modifications as the air intake for the throttle body will be in the rear under the firewall so it would need to be moved. Plus you will need to get the ECM tuned to allow for the boost.
