New member
I have a 1998 grand Prix gtp Just started driving it today and the motor started knocking I was really hurt when that happend because i put time into the car and it is so clean and has every option possible. It came with performance shift and shifter a thrasher cold air intake, factory 6 disc changer, heads up display and the interior was clean. The car was hit in the front when I bought it it was previously owned by a girl that ran under a truck but after a mild radiator support bend, new head lights and a matching hood the car was better then new. I had just fixed the infamous over the supercharger leak thats when my friend slash mechanic told me "im sorry papa but that motor is shot. I wasnt sad or mad just confused not knowing what should I do with the car. I really dont have time for another child to raise with my son 92 lx mustang and baby brother 95 lowered gmc sonoma. I dont know guys please help me should I fix the car? My only problem with that is I cant find a good supercharged 3800 but i can find a n/a 3800 I dont know what to do please help guys? If I dont fix it I will sell it for 1000 I currently have it on the cl
 


get a series2 3800 non-supercharged with low miles, and put your GTP heads and S/c on it.
 
ANY car with a 3800 Series II!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


they are all the same bottomends!

just the L36 will have higher compression.....more power with the blower.
 
good news guys i found a motor today for 400 with the supercharger couldnt turn it down. it is also a 2001 motor with 69,000 on it im putting it in today. So im selling my old motor for 250 with the pcm for anyone wanting to do a top end swap.
