swapping a supercharged motor to my 94 GTP?

**Kimbob** · 01-15-2016

Wondering about the possibility of swapping a supercharged motor to my 94 GTP? What all is involved? What's a good year candidate for the donor. Trans and all I assume. I'll bet there is a thread for this?

Thanks

Follow this, I'm putting a l32 into my 95 cuttlass....you will need a new Trans so need to get a 4t65e, and you'll need the obd2 harness to convert your obd1...but parts list and I structures in the link..motor and Trans bolt right in..

I did this with a 92 Lumina Z34 about 12 years ago. It bolts in you basically need a donar car with the engine, transmission all accessories wire harness and ECU. Lots of work but it is fun seeing peoples faces when you pop the hood.

Just an f.y.i for parts sourcing you will be looking up a lot of stuff for 95 and 96 Regals with the 3800 series 2. that will give you things like the correct lower radiator hose upper as well as heater core hoses. the fuse boxes and engine size harness power system is a little nicer than the 94 Cutlass stuff we used for the 442 so would probably be a little cleaner of an install to splice in the series to PCM and engine harness. repining the firewall pass through is not that difficult but it is tedious

For the donar car I would go with a 98 or newer. The 97 is a transition year with a unique PCM.

find a decent parts car, buy the whole car. dont run back and forth to a junkyard

it also won't be as simple as a bolt on intake or something like that which I feel like is what you are thinking. It's a little bit more in depth than that.

This is true. The swap took me months to complete due to my inexperience and being an engineering student while working. I had several bugs to work out that took me many months after the car was running to resolve. Several cracked flexplates, failed torque converter, etc. I had the engine in and out of the car 6 or more times. It is completely do-able just not easy.

Agreed JamesIvey24, any thoughts on the best years to use?

Why?

For how cheap 98+ GTPs are, you should just buy one of those.

**Kimbob** · 01-20-2016

The nuts and bolts of swapping the engine and trans are not my concern. It's the electrical part that's got me worried. Knowing what to swap and how to connect it.

Drive XR7. I'm partial to the older body styles.?! Just buy it and drive it? BORING!!!!
