Sell it and buy a v8, you'll save yourself a lot of time and money that way. And you could swap any parts over you want to keep too.

alloytechs arent very good for power unless you turbo them, and the money you spend doing that, you could just sell your car, keep your bits and pieces, buy an 8, get a cammed tuned, heads done and have the same power, more reliably and probably cheaper if your lucky, and not only that youl be able to get even more power down the track.
no matter what you do to a 6 it will NEVER, match an 8.

I thought of jus getting a 5.7 ltr in it and get it worked? I wanna have my car as a project, not an every day car...

You also have to think of the running gear(engine, transmission, diff, brakes blah blah) will cope with the increase of power.

I agree.... sell the VZ Berlina and buy a VZ SS.... will work out cheaper in the long run

Yeah maybe if you want to do anything to the car now, you should do it with resale value in mind so you can get top dollar for it and buy an SS. Maybe just detail it and put in an aftermarket sound system and whatever else you think will increase its resale value. Thats my opinion anyway.
