Guest FBody Addict Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 kenne bell out of california, they make parts for the 3.8l v6, which i believe is the engine in your car they are also good for buick GN parts, or any other buick high performance parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 99.4% different from eachother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a 3800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt-titan Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 well i went out to check and it has on the cover 3.8 not 3800 and it's a 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Originally posted by stang-gt: well i went out to check and it has on the cover 3.8 not 3800 and it's a 2000 The motor is a 3800. It is 3.8 liters, but it is not a 3.8l like in the old Buicks. The old Buicks were called 3.8, your motor is called a 3800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you have to change everything to make it work. You are better off finding an entire transaxle/motor/harness assembly and doing a full swap. You cannot bolt on the GTP supercharger onto your GT. The 3800 series I (late 80's to 1995.5) is about 50% different from the original 3.8 in the turbo Buicks. The 3800 series II (1996-current) has almost nothing in common with the original 3.8. Here is the list: Connecting rod bolts That's it. There are lots of things you can do with it. Go to www.clubgp.com and learn about it. Your motor code is "L36" and that is how people will refer to it. The blown motor is "L67." Get used to hearing that. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FBody Addict Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 and i though the main diff was the heads in the series II just flowed a hell of a lot better, but i knew it was different from the turbos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 2HiPsi Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Be careful when buying mods from them, I now sign my paychecks straight over to INTENSE They know their stuff and will never guide you in the wrong direction, great guys, extremely lucky to have them so close.
