Hey guys, new here. I have been on here before just just browsing but I think its about time i made a account. Anyways onto the topic. I recently got a 4 door olds achievas 2.3l auto and I am thinking of doing a engine swap. I was wondering if there is anyway to do a supercharged 3.8l buick swap? I am pretty shure the 3.8 came on later years so is it possable? As funny as this may seem i am 16 but new to the whole computer controlled cars. All my knowlage with cars is olds school, I am actualy restoring a 1981 T/A. so your going to have to be really simple when it comes to electronics. I just want more power and this 2.3 isnt doing it... I know a bit about the S/C 3.8 and from what i heard its a very reliable engine with a good stock hp starting mark. So even if it isnt possable what should I do? is there any other engine I can swap? Can I build the 2.3? I looked into turbo's but I was told It was a big no no with the ballence shafts. I want to reach the 300-350 hp range for as cheap as possable (useing parts from other engines and things like that also works). It also needs to be streetable and be able to run during the winters here in canada. If anyone could help me out that would be great.
Thanks
