Newboot with engine woes

[OLE EDDIE]

Hello to everyone,
just bought 02 with s.chg'd 3800.i have to replace the engine.
Can i buy a reg. 3800 and supercharge it with the parts from old engine?

Yes, its commonly called a "bottom-swap".

You'll have more power because the GT engine is higher compression.

You need headers and a tuned ECU for best results.

Keep poking around the forum for details, many have done this swap.

Good luck.
