gm 3800 project

hello i have a crazy idia and im qurious on your oppoinion i have found many option parts ranging from cams to headers/ the project platform is a 88 w body gm (delta 88 specificly) the only problem i will have is finding a 1991-1996 engine out of a buick ultra. these motors are the only version of the 3800 supercharged befor obd2 and i dont know if i can use a obd2 verson without headachs. i can get a chip from hyperlink, cam from compcams. use grand national pistons and rods, can custom port and pollish heads, install slightly bigger valves, harend seats and guides, a company by the name of thrasher offers headers, smaller supercharger pullys and a nos setup if i want (which i dont).

i know this souds like a waste of time money and effort (especaly conitering the engines platform) bit i love the mucle car erra were the famaly sedans and coupes were the farstest out their (satilites, polaras, torinos, ect)plus it would be a killer sleeper! plese give me your best reply and any info on wether i can sucesfuly use a jen 2 superchager on the old obd1 comuter setup thank you




p.s. i dont smoke crack:) :D :D :D

no one has any advice or oppinion?

First, I don't think it will be very difficult to find a supercharged 3.8L V6. There have got to be some sitting in junkyards. And you don't want a 1996 if you're avoiding OBD-II engines.

Second, the "W-body" isn't the Delta 88. The 1986-1991 Eighty-Eight is an "H-body" as was its replacement. The "W-body" made its debut in 1988 as the Pontiac Grand Prix, Buick Regal, and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. The Chevrolet Lumina (and, eventually, Monte Carlo) was introduced in 1990.

my bad hudson thanks for the corection

No problem...any time.
