engine swap

[superchargers rok]

I have a 94 GA SE w/ 3.1 and plan on swapping out with 3.8 supercharged(yes i know, a lot of work) since the older GPs had the 3.1 i wanted to know if anyone has done this and what all i need to do it

GM never put a 3800 in an n-body, so everything you're about to do is going to be custom fabrication. I've seen what you're trying to do done over in the Grand Am forums, so it's not impossible, but the resulting car will cost way more than it's worth, and may not be worth the expense.

I think by the time you did everything, your looking at a 6-8grand expence. To me, this is alot to do. now this is cheeper then buying a new car, but remember, its a 94, so that means alot of things are rusted, alot of things will be replased. This caust you upwards of 15grand by the time you are done. 15 grand is good for a big downpayment for a new gp. they are running about 22 or so. Pros and cons. Think hard about this before you do it, or it will be money NOT well spend.
