New Engine

I was thinking about buying a new engine for my 3.8 Pontiac Grand Prix,
but I did not know whether or not if I should buy it from the dealership. Can someone give me advice on that. Also, if I have a 3.8, non superscharge engine, could I put the supercharge in my car.

Yes, if you want to change the wire harness and PCM.

so you have to change the wire harness and the PCM, damn..
So what about getting a new engine, what would you do, would you go to the dealer or get it rebuilt. I know at the dealer I would be able to get another 200 thousand miles of it

Id get a an AC-Delco remanufactured long block GM part # 12465148,it come's with a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty.

Thanx, where did you get you pipes from and how much did they run you. Also, what is the name of those pipes/mufflers.
On the other hand is that a different type of engine or is that the same that come with the car. Also, if that is different, would I have to add stuff to it.

Ive got a custom exhaust,3in stainless steel downpipe with a carsound/magnaflow cat, u-bend delete 3in to y-pipe to dynomax super turbos and the tips are from www.fastoys.net.

I looked up a 98 GT 3800,not sure what year your's is.The part # I listed is for a 97/99 long block.Only parts to swap out on a long block is, PS pump,alternator and throttle body,add some new plugs.

I'd call up Ed Morad get a used motor and take the money saved and throw it into a turbo setup for the car.
