is it possible to swap a 3.3 for a 3.8? possibly a supercharged 3.8...

Anyway if it is possible what all would i need, the engine of course and i believe the tanny and computer from the 3.8?

any suggestions?

go for it... you will have to do some engine mounting brackets.
but the most trouble will be making the comp talk to the rest of the car. esp the cluster ... if you can get around that the rest is clock work. if your doing the swap for power it might be easer to go turbo or 5 speed. ;)

turbo? i thought that the3.8 could only have a super charger....

this may sound stupid but are grand prixs and bonnevilles with the 3.8 fwd or rwd?

Any thing your heart and wallet desire. But for the turbo I was refuring to turboing a 3300 that was already in the car.

the grand prix after I think 88 went to fwd
