    You need the fuel rail as well as fuel injectors. There is a sticky in the na 3800 section about topswaps read that.

    The 97 has a weak vacuum powered transmission from what I remember reading... I think they blow a lot on NA power, I dunno if it'll be able to handle boost.

    yes, definitely read the sticky because there is a lot more to it than heads and the blower itself.

    the easiest way to tell is if there is a vac line/ vac modulator on the front driver side of the trany next to the AC canister. if it has the vac it is a 4t60e. if it doesn't its the 4t65e. the 4t65e is fine for the SC. the 4t60e just might go bye bye in a very short time.

    By your post...I believe the best thing to do at this point is research.

    And realize the transmission you have can barely hold the power your N/A motor makes.

    Also, in the section here...that you bypassed to make this thread...there is a sticky thread all about top swapping, I suggest taking a look there.
