3800 to 3800 Supercharged

Has anyone converted their Lumina/Monte Carlo 3.8 to a supercharged engine? I seem to see L67 heads, intake, supercharger, two belts, harmonic balancer from a Pontiac/Buick/Olds. What else? If I wanted to do this on a 1999 Lumina LTZ, does anyone have a parts list?


Thanks,

Corndog Man...

Connecting rods and pistons are different also, the 2 engines are internally very different to handle the additional loads.

Thanks. Easier to find complete engine and swap. Too much money. Will just replace head gaskets and go back as regular ltz.

Re: 3800 to 3800 Supercharged

After the ignition module went bad, incorrect spark plug in the correct box (Hit top of piston), and a coolant leak caused from the plug or just coincidence it's alive since sitting since 2008. I was surprised how good the thing runs. Only issue is the low coolant sensor seems to have gone bad but is intermittent. Air bled and not running hot. No coolant in the oil or anything.
