Welcome to AF.
The conversion is extensive, time consuming and expensive considering the value of your GA GT. However, it has been done successfully. See pic.

yeah Milzy Motorsports sells a conversion kit for this swap not cheap at all !
piggy backin the PCM's and BCM's is the real trick to this swap.
I have considered attempting this swap myself, but thiers not a lot of data to help. And this would require some help.

It reality JC you are better off getting a GM car already equipped with the L67 engine. Like a Grand Prix GTP. :grinyes:
Speaking of other mods the 3400 has a lot of aftermarket stuff available that works so that would be another option for more power.

That is true Bob.
Though thier is nothing like poppin the hood on your lowly GA and seeing a SC 3800 in there. :naughty:
I could see some fun at the parts store when you ask for a 3.8 part for your GA. :lol:
But as you said Bob thier are a lot of mods for the 3400 that can get the HP up thie with the 3800. A way cheap and easier then doin the 3.8 swap.
ps- the GTP Comp G is the real treat w/paddle shifters. :grinyes:
