Hey guys.
Im going to be doing a 3800 series II supercharged engine swap into my firebird shortly so I will have the stock naturally aspirated 3800 series II engine, harness, cpu, fuel pump and other bits laying around. Has any one sized up a GM 60 degree v6 into an alpine yet? I was thinking that if it wasn’t too long of an engine it might be a good fit:
- 60 degree v6 is nice and narrow
- Its a push-rod engine so it shouldn’t be too tall
- engine mounts are located forward of center
- engine has been around forever so there is a good number of parts that will bolt up to it that can be found at a junk yard
- supercharged version is more than a hand full in stock trim
- plenty of aftermarket
- very solid running little drive train
