    Ok, so everyone here knows that there have been many 3.8 S/C engines over the years but how many can identify them after they have been pulled out of the car? I know I can't but I want to learn. How about we get some pics and specs of the different 3.8 s/c motors and a little info about the cars they come from. How do you tell a Gen III from a Gen V? What about the differences between the engines? How many different Superchargers have been put on the 3800's? This could be a learning experience for a lot of people here (including myself) that could lead to money saved and more good parts saved from the crusher.

    Thanks,
    James

    all the motors will look the same and the only way youll tell an L36/L26 from an L67/L32 are the markings on the block saying so. the genV blower has a longer inlet and the ribs on top look different. there have only been two blowers used on the series II and series III motors, but both are m90s. the series I motor had an m62 on it in a few cars.

    pictures, ill leave that up to someone else.
