If you have a complete doner car it is not to bad really. Drop the front end on the GTP then Drop the front end on your Grand am. Role the GTP front end under and bolt it up. Of course you will have to change the wiring harness as well. No one said it was easy. You have to have all the plugins for the supercharger and other sensors.

it would pick extensive moifications, and it does no longer purely be an engine change. each little thing might choose pulled out, the engine bay might choose widened to slot the larger engine, assume to interchange each and all of the followers, belts, radiator and battery, besides as each and all of the wiring and the computing device. neither computing device will artwork for the recent setup, and no "inventory areas" exist that could fit the recent configuration. it would fee a buttload of money, and your re-carried out automobile will in all danger desire a taller hood. changing it would additionally require changing the tranny. you are able to in all danger use the gtp tranny, yet lower back, assume important adjustments wanting carried out to mount it and make it fit. additionally, you will possibly prefer to tell your assurance, you will possibly prefer to get it safetied and e-examined yet lower back, and it would desire to ought to bypass some style of DOT try until eventually now they are going to enable it to be lisenced. in case you do no longer do all that, and the law enforcement officers or your assurance ever finds out, you are able to kiss your experience so long, and don't think of you will ever be insured lower back. the engine in question isn't properly worth each and all of the hassle. ya, it pulls ok, in spite of the undeniable fact that it guzzles gasoline like no day after today, and is not any longer almost quickly or efficiant adequate by way of right this moment's standards. once you are going to do all that artwork, use a eastern imported engine - very severe strung, severe tuned, extra suitable than a hundred hp in keeping with litre. nissan skyline engine - twin speedier, 3.2 litre, bout 345 horsepower. lancer evolution engine - speedier, 2.3 litre, 285 hp. imports rock

i agree with Andy. its true you can get a 3.8l supercharged motor in a grand am, but it would cost 4-6k in mods, parts and labor. its not worth it. just supercharge your car now, and save some money.
