Re: Need some help

the supercharged engine is alot different internally than a standard 3.8,alot stronger and beefier where it counts. instead of spending alot of money on this car go price some supercoupes in your area and try to buy one of them. mines got 157000 miles and cost $2200 dollars. needed some work that is getting done a little along and i am really enjoying the car. i got about $3200 in it now and still need tires and a couple of wheels but i figure ill get them when i do. food for thought good luck

Re: Need some help

A super coupe super charger will bolt on with using the heads and a lot of other parts off the super coupe but the motor will not last very long with so much more compression than it is designed to run.

At least just swap the whole motor from a super coupe. Or use the V8 just as much horse power and ussually more torque. I love my 95 4.6 lx It will knock you back hard into your seat.

Re: Need some help

It should without any problems, but, to be quite honest, it would be a lot easier and cost wouldn't be much different to just find a 93 LX 5.0
