Re: buick 3800/ camaro v6 3.8 swap

I believe in the past 1 or 2 have done it, not a lot.

First thing you need to learn is that the supercharged 3800 is not the same engine as the 3.8 turbo in the buick gn/ttypes and tta's

You'll have to fabricate motor mounts, there are no bolt in's for the swap.

Extensive wiring harness modification will be needed.

Just straight bolting on the supercharger from the fwd cars wont work because its too long rearward, you would probably have luck if you did one of the MP112 conversions that loops forwards, or has one of the top inlets that you can route forwards.
