nurkvinny Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 A good friend at work bought an 05 Grand Prix. Engine grenaded shortly thereafter. Found a supercharged 3800 from same year. I'm looking for a step by step link for the swap. I'm striking out. Any help??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Should be a normal engine swap plus the added sensors you will need, tune, coolant and vac lines, otherwise it is a direct bolt in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 It's the added stuff I'm looking for details for. Harness info, computer, etc. He's no stranger to pulling and installing engines. It's the small details (and any gotchya moments) I'm looking for. Thanks.

Buck531 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Should just need the plug extension for MAP to work. Is he just swapping the motor or both motor and trans? I'm not sure if the gearing is right or not between the two. I don't much experience with 04+ 3800's.. I'd check out grandprixforums.net .
