Easy job? No chance, though I have read that someone at FTv6.com is trying the deed, but it's not easy by any means.

i been thinking about it as well... if you look at the motors they are similar. yet as you know one is mounted sideways for front wheel drive. but the should not make any difference in how its mounted. the other thing is the throttle body is set back more. the only thing is you need to up your compression and get your ecm flashed. i personaly think that it shouldnt be a problem... what do i know i havent done it and im a new member , but all i can say is look into it...

You have to look how far back under the windshield the engine sits, and then add a supercharger on top of the engine. The sidemounted engines use top mounted Eatonsuperchargers, not the front mounted centrifugal type.

Here are the dimensions on a Grand Prix 3.8L Supercharger

19 inches long x 10” wide and 4.5” high

So if you want to take off yourintake plenum, and see if you can fit 4.5 inches between the block and the windshield.
