Wanting to do something somewhat crazy...

ok this may sound crazy but i was wondering if it would be possible to swap the series 2 3800 l36 thats in my 02 gp anni for a series 3 3800.

the previous owner of the car let the original motor lock up so i am currently driving an 02 anni with the engine out of a 97.

or would it be better to just swap in an l67 and call it a day?
 


they are nearly identical motors. the only benefit is that you'd get a genV blower on the L32.
 
You would have to swap over your upper plenum and throttle body other than that its bolt in. L67 needs the engine wiring harness and a custom tune for your transmission gearing.
 
so the series 3 is a bolt in? how much more power/fuel mileage is there? or are you talking about the l67? i want something newer and didn't know if there were any power/fuel mileage advantages.

and i go to school with a lot of gm-donated cars, one being a lucerne with a series 3. it looks like it has different motor mount bosses but i can't really tell.
 
There's no real benefit and it complicates something that doesn't need to be complicated. If anything I'd do an L67 swap and call it a day.
 
i want some simple power enhancements, and from an engine that i can depend on. i might just yank the current motor and rebuild it nicely. haven't decided yet.
 


Click the bottom link in my signature boss...it has plenty of info for you...or the 1st one if you just want to hear my car.
 
now anymore i an comtemplating keeping it and paying it off then giving it a complete makeover including paint and re-upholstery, engine and trans rebuild, and complete rustproofing
