I believe the 3.8L V6 is the best motor that Pontiac has...especially the supercharged version.

Re: Most Reliable Pontiac Engine
Id say nonsupercharged is more reliable; fewer things to go wrong (although i do like the s/c one better)
but best all-time has to be the LS1/LT1 (you can't beat a 350, its about bulletproof) but if youre swapping out a 2.2, i doubt a 350 would fit. go with a 3800 or 3800 s/c

Re: Most Reliable Pontiac Engine
the pontiac 400 small block is practically indestructable and my personal experience says that one will still run strongly with half the cylenders at 75 to 85% compression and the other half under 50% compression, but i dont think that its practical for your application

Re: Most Reliable Pontiac Engine
its only supercharged on grand pri gtps and the new monte carlo ss' and some bonnevilles i think, mabe a couple others, but most of the 3800s are naturally aspirated

Re: Most Reliable Pontiac Engine
The regal gs has a supercharged engine.
If you wanna see what available for 3800sc parts go to: http://www.3800performance.com/index.html If you want to put one in your car check out this: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/526752 Hope you have lots of money. I wanted to do it, and it would be cheaper to buy a Grandam ect. Best of luck whatever you decide. |

3.8 not pontiac
the 3.8 is a buick design from way back. this was the most powerful and fuel economical engine GM could offer.
