Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum. I'm wondering how much I should expect to pay for a 3800 Series III L26. I would also need alt, ac compressor, sensors, ecm, starter, ect.

This would be for an engine swap into a fiero. I want a non supercharged for a turbo application later down the road.

How much should I expect to pay for the engine (with less than 20k miles) and where is the best place to get used sensors, alt, ect. Salvage yard?

Thanks
 


I'd say try car-part.com and an L26 should be between $500 and $750 depedning on miles. Car-part should link you to a local parts reseller for everything else you need.

Keep us updated on the Fiero build!
 
4T65E-HD tranny's came in all L67, L32, and LS4 cars. I wouldn't bother looking for them though for your Fiero. The only difference between the HD and non-HD tranny's are the gear ratio's (worse in the HD's) and the differential is a little better. If I were you, I would check out this place for a tranny: Triple Edge Performance - Home Page

You're going to need a built tranny for a turbo setup.
 
I assumed I would neeed a built one - I will look at triple edge trans. Which trans do people think is best?

triple edge trans
cartuning.ca trans
zzp trans?
 


bottom end is good for well over 500whp. zzp hit around 800+whp on the stock block.

it's all in the tune.

What is the weakiest link on the 3800? What has the stock bottom end withstood?

Realistically, the LIM gasket is the worst part. The 3800 is a pretty solid engine, and just like Bio said, ZZP put out around 800whp on a stock bottom end. The weakest link isn't the engine, it's the tranny. TEP is the best in that department. ZZP is the best in the engine department.
