can a 3.8L grand prix GTP supercharger fit on a 2k 4.3L???

[FastTeen]

i just thought that if the turbo exhaust manifold will fit maybe the supercharger will. so will it? or am i going to need to make some modifications to a 3.8L intake manifold?

thanks in advance!

it wont work.... the intake manifolds are completely different. the 4,3 is a 90 degree v6, whereas the 3.8 is a 60 degree v6. so there is a 30 degree differance in the angle between the cylinder banks... it wont fit right

Not true, the 3.8L is a 90 degree V6, but it is a Buick designed motor not Chevrolet like the 4.3L. The only 60 degree GM engine are the 2.8, 3.1, 3.4 and 3.5L V6 engines. Parts will not interchange because they are not designed to interchange, not because they are a different cylinder bank angle.

I'm not sure about the degree angles being different on the two motors, however I do know the supercharger will not work on the 4.3L due to the different intakes. The supercharge was not designed around the 4.3L specs. Believe me, ALOT of people would have done this a LONG time ago if it would work. But it simply will not.
