Won't work.

Technically you could make the blower work with a custom LIM.

Keep this thread on topic. He was asking if that motor would work for a topswap.

what is a tvs? im looking for performance options for low prices. ive got everything about 230-245hp at the crank w/o the supercharger so my overall goal is around 300hp i figured a top swap was the easiest and most cost effective method for doing this. any other ideas?

That's a Series I motor. None of the parts are not interchangeable with your current Series II motor as the only thing it really shares with the S2 is that it's 3.8L of displacement.

As for the TVS, it's more costly than most other options and was only done once. Take a look in the for sale area for a top swap kit. They can usually be found pretty low cost.

ill sell you some heads and a blower pm me for info and prices

There's a complete top swap on clubgp for like $300-$350.

teh lulz.

short snout = m62...


You could put in a dune buggy!

Oh and 97 GT arent worth top swapping.
