recently my buick lesaber 97 limiteds engine gave out =\
but i found a l67 supercharged, would it be compatible? maybe take the supercharger off and put a regular intake on? or just add a cold air intake the pulley..ect?
my hopes are not very high so dont be afraid to crush them

I assume you are talking about a VIN-K L36, rather than an L27? Anyway, this is not what you want to do. The L67 has lower compression and depends on the S/C to boost power, so changing the manifold would not be an option with your existing PCM . If you should decide to do a complete conversion, (just to mention a few items) you would need to change the transaxle, CV drive shafts, all drive accessories and the PCM for it to work.
