98 cutlass
Ok, so i have a 98 olds cutlass with a 3.4 in it ...this engine is going bad and i was wondering what the best engine would be to swap without tons of custom work like adding fans and cutting tons of stuff and work with mounts.
I was thinking a supercharged 3.8 from a regal but i have no clue if that will be too big or what..or should i just put another 3.4 in it?

Thank you all

Welcome to AF, the 3800 is not just a drop in swap, for practical and monetary issues another 3.4 is the way to go.

I understand, common question on the forum, the 3800 is very strong in these cars, just trying to type less with my " bent" fingers. LOL
