Ok, I have come into roughly $600 of found money. All legit. This is something my wife is unaware of, so lets keep it on the down low.

Now, I have the avalibility to a complete 4.3.Is the crank of the 4.3 compatable with the series II 3800? How about the heads?

Next, I have seen alot of write ups on 3.8 mods, I cant say I have seen anything about a cam swap. Has anybody done this and what gains have the made. If not, could someone recomend a Cam that is worth the $$$.

 

i think a stroker would cost more than 600

 

4.3 doesnt share anything with other v6's..600 bucks will get you a N.O.S

 

Stroker kit cost like $2K plus install.

A full cam kit cost $800 plus install and a good nitrous system is about $800 too. You can buy the bare nitrous kit and hook it up, but you will need tuning and stuff.

If you have already dont headers, exhaust & instake, I would save $200 for a cam. If you dont have bolt ons yet, I would get them. Becuase they will make everything else more effective.

 

Duh, I just remembered the 3.8 is a Buick and the 4.3 is a Chevy.

 

The thing is I have my engine apart as we speak. Just looking for some up grades. $800. for a cam, what is it made out of titainium? I think a set of headers and new clutch will be more sufficient.

 

The cam itself is only about $300. You will need more for all the other things to go with it.

 

stigs refering to camshaft rollers lifters and push rods replaced

 

While on the topic of camming. How much power gains could one get from camming the 3800? Tbh, I haven't researched this at all yet, so sorry for a noob quesiton. Just curious.
