98 cutlass

Ok, so i have a 98 olds cutlass with a 3.4 in it ...this engine is going bad and i was wondering what the best engine would be to swap without tons of custom work like adding fans and cutting tons of stuff and work with mounts.
I was thinking a supercharged 3.8 from a regal but i have no clue if that will be too big or what..or should i just put another 3.4 in it?

Thank you all

Welcome to AF, the 3800 is not just a drop in swap, for practical and monetary issues another 3.4 is the way to go.

"very strong".....Do you mean powerful or that its a popular thing tried to be done? and again i have no clue lol

Meaning nice power and good mileage, I had a 98 LTZ Lumina, it was great till rust finished it at 250k!!

lol that makes me want it more ..my bro just swapped his 4.3 for a 350 in his 88 s10, Would this be harder than that was?

Yes. Better off looking for a 98-99 Ltz.
