Buick Regal Gs Motor

[himfanzach]

Does any body know if the buick regal 3800 series engine with supercharger will fit in our rides?

[Lovestheh20]

anything is possible bro. you'd need to put in the transmission from that motor as well and find custom halfshafts to fit the wheelbase correctly, custom exaust and pcm as well as some other things I dont know much about.

i know it will be a lot quicker if the total out my parent car anj 00 reagel gs it was hit in the rear it has 45000 miles on engine and tranny and if they totall it i wont to steal the motor and everything out of it!

not knocking the concept, because I personally know someone with an Achieva sporting the 3800 s/c and 4t65e-hd combo. He said he had to use the PCM and wiring harness, and it was almost more pain in the ass than it was worth. But, he did it, and he surprises the crap out of alot of people with his sleeper.

if it's being totalled and they dont need the money out of the insurance company that bad, the do it. Gank the motor, tranny, axles (so you can have them modified) the PCM, and get all motor/tranny mounts from the donor car so you can have them matched up at a local welder. In fact, if I were you, I would try and pull the whole front subframe with engine, tranny and all still attached.

you're gonna spend many long nights matching up wiring though, be forewarned.

You really DO need the PCM and harness though if you're going to do it right. Because not all sensors and wiring send the same voltage signals.

this sounds like its going to be a pain in the ass one of the main reason i was wanting to do it my car an 03 alero has like 85000 miles on it and the other reason was for performace i already have the 3.4

[BlackJack]

it's not a simple task for sure. But rather than tell you "you can't", I thought I'd let you make that decision for yourself after understanding what might be involved.

too bad you're not closer to me, or I would offer some $ for that tranny, if you aren't going to use it, but it's too expensive to ship.

a f/i buick? I thought their last one was the grand national

guess you learn something new each day

[BlackJack]

yeah, buddy of mine had a Regal GS, it was fast as hell with that S/C 3800. Same engine/tranny combo can be found in the Gran Prix GTP, and the Bonneville SSEi, there may be more but that's all that I'm aware of currently is those three.
