    just bought a 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix for 700 dollars
    3.1 automatic.
    car runs great,just has an electrical issue, the car will jerk and the speedometer will go nuts.

    anyway how would i go about swapping in a gtp 3800 supercharged motor?

    i found a supercharged motor out of the same year gtp model automatic. will the motor and transmission bolt right up in the engine bay?
    i know ill need the gtp computer, what about the wire harness?

    just need a list of all the things ill need
    thank you
