3800 engine swap with a 3800 supercharged

[stubs03]

just wondering if it's possible to switch the 3800 engine out of my 88 oldsmobile 98 touring edition with a 3800 supercharged (L67)

yup, just have to change the ecm and a few other small parts.

Yes you can eventhough your old 3800 is far different from the L67. It shouldn't be that difficult of a swap, but you might want to upgrade to the 4t65e-HD tranny found in the L67/3800 sc cars, especially if your plan on modding it. Check out www.l67swap.com, they might have some information for you.

thx guys yeah i knew i would have to upgrade the tranny and i'd probably switch to a manual as well

[jeremy96gase]

Switching to a manual is an entire new ballpark. But I know there was a guy with a Caviler that did it on j-bod.org .

The 3.8L engines never came with a 5speed stock, so its a little harder to the the computer to "play nice"

Only the F-body 3.8 came in stick, but those were rwd. All I can say is good luck :)
