can i pull my 3.4 **** box engine out and simply change exhaust system, and computer to support a 3.8series 3 supercharged engine? like is it worth it? does anyone know where i can find a 3.8 series 3 supercharged? just kickin around the idea pricin options.

 

the supercharger will not fit... it will not clear and you can't cut anything to make it fit due to the windshield. Get an Lt1 or a non supercharged 3800

 

In other words, NO! However, you could try a Buick GN turbo motor, if you can find one and have the know how to make it work.

 

I wouldn't even bother with a Buick turbo 3.8L.

If the OP has to pass emissions, that's probably not gonna happen with that engine if a visual inspection is necessary.

For the trouble of changing an engine and tranny, along with the electronics, just slap in an LT1 drivetrain pullout and call it a day.

 

i believe the l67 (supercharged 3.8) isnt any taller than the l36(na 3.8 for fwd, i dunno if the rpo on the rwd is different), the biggest problem that i think u would have is the intake, because the throttle body comes out the back of that engine.... if ur gonna try to make the switch (which u shouldnt because of the throttle body, its gonnna cause u major problems), u should try to get a series 2 instead of a series 3 because of price, ease of installation (series 3 has a electronic tb), and performance parts availability.

if ur gonna pay that much for an engine save urself the trouble, and the pain, get a ls1 its about the same price.
