    you do need the l67 or l32 supercharged heads
    LIM and blower need the heads to bolt too and the injector/plugs are moved

    ok i got all that forum wrote down to start tearing it apart i have a 98 regal gs with the sc 3800 and was planing to put a reg n/a 3800 in after i did the swap since the stock sc 3800 ws blown up but if u grab the puley and turn it back and forth the sc clickss like it has some play could the sc have gone out and caused the engine to mallfuntion to the preveus owner which i bought thew car already blown up

    sounds like a coupler..
    wouldnt cause the motor to blow up
    my guess is the bottom end let go because of fauly LIM Gaskets

    that slop in the sc pulley didnt do any thing to your engine, its the coupler thats gone bad, its a 40 dollar fix and takes about 30 minutes to fix.

    as long as you have to pull the engine and do a whole swap, it would be in your best interest to get headers and have them ready to go in when you put it all back together, and a get your pmc tuned before you even have the engine finished, (canned tune if you dont have someone local to tune it in car) so you can drive it right away with out to much worries.

    I'd go speeddaddies for headers.
    Do the coupler while it's out. Rollingperformance.com (instructions, parts, all you can need)
    You can put an SC on a car w/o doing the heads. It's called the SSM90 kit from ZZP $1300
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    you dont need them, but if you ever plan on modding i would go ahead and get them done now
    and they bolt up to the stock flange by the cat, they come with everything you need IIRC
