im not sure if it has the same mounting brackets or not. The manifold may or may not fit.
you need diffent exhaust manifolds im sure.
imo take the turbo of it and get some custom turbo manifolds
get a 97 pcm tune it
run like 6psi
enjoy boost!!
later get a cam port heads run more boost
or better get better internals and run even more boost!!

[jderry]

i thought of that too
i really want a fast v6
even though alot of ppl would say screw it and get a v8

[lozanoa11]

are you on fullthrottlev6? lots of good info there
all the fast v6's are turboed or sprayed. prepare to spend some some coin.
how fast are you looking to go?

information on 3800II is going to be pretty much irrelevant to a GN motor.

I knew a guy that did the swap so its possible, his car is the red RS vert in the autorama. Buy a ticket and go look at it lol

If I remember correct, Derek said it was an absolute ***** to get it to work and fit in his engine bay. He also did the whole engine swap, not just the parts of the swap.

[lozanoa11]

yea what i would do is take the turbo off it and sell the rest.

[phoenix_rising]

I thought about this a long time ago.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I would get Derek's number and go talk to him in person and get as much from him as possible, it would be completly bad ass IMO DO IT!

[JoeliusZ28]

I believe he is an active SLP member if no one has his contact info.

not worth the troubles, use the series 2 engine and turbo it, less headaches
