Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum. I'm wondering how much I should expect to pay for a 3800 Series III L26. I would also need alt, ac compressor, sensors, ecm, starter, ect.
This would be for an engine swap into a fiero. I want a non supercharged for a turbo application later down the road.
How much should I expect to pay for the engine (with less than 20k miles) and where is the best place to get used sensors, alt, ect. Salvage yard?
Thanks

I'd say try car-part.com and an L26 should be between $500 and $750 depedning on miles. Car-part should link you to a local parts reseller for everything else you need.
Keep us updated on the Fiero build!

Thank you Explicit_Spade. What about the 4T65E-HD trans? What year / trim did the HD come in?
Thanks a bunch

4T65E-HD tranny's came in all L67, L32, and LS4 cars. I wouldn't bother looking for them though for your Fiero. The only difference between the HD and non-HD tranny's are the gear ratio's (worse in the HD's) and the differential is a little better. If I were you, I would check out this place for a tranny: Triple Edge Performance - Home Page
You're going to need a built tranny for a turbo setup.

I assumed I would neeed a built one - I will look at triple edge trans. Which trans do people think is best?
triple edge trans
cartuning.ca trans
zzp trans?

i think the TEP is the best. dave knows what he is doing.

What is the weakiest link on the 3800? What has the stock bottom end withstood?
02-16-2011
bottom end is good for well over 500whp. zzp hit around 800+whp on the stock block.
it's all in the tune.

Realistically, the LIM gasket is the worst part. The 3800 is a pretty solid engine, and just like Bio said, ZZP put out around 800whp on a stock bottom end. The weakest link isn't the engine, it's the tranny. TEP is the best in that department. ZZP is the best in the engine department.
