Hello, Im in the final stages of my 3800sc swap and I just need a few last minute parts I need to buy. I'm just wondering the sizes on these parts and I cant find any articles on this. Thank you for any info y'all have.

Acc. belt. - Alternator in stock location, A/C still there - part number?

Oil Pan gasket - part number?

Hoses - part numbers?

Best kind of oil to use?

K&N air filter - I'm doing a 3.5 intake - Is there a better size filter to use? or does it not really matter? cause a use are 3.5 but the length is different

Spark plugs - Is there any special ones I should use for performance or does it not really matter?

I know I'm forgetting some things but that will be good enough to start out with. lol

Spark plugs = Autolite AL104

------------------
Turbo 3800 E85 5spd spec5
11.53@126.7

Belt I use is 83.5" If you changed the tensioner pulley to a ribbed to route the belt.

Hoses if the Fiero was a V6 originally were Dayco E71030 and E71082

Oil pan gasket the store can find, I never saved a part number

The K&N works fine, it is a tight fit depending on the angle of your intake.

Spark plugs, get AC103 or Autolites standard cheap plugs, Platnums I have never had luck with.

Are those okay to use if my motor is still completely stock? I plan on making the pulley go down to a 3.4 in the future but right now its just exhaust and a cold air intake

Yes, those plugs are fine for a stock motor

To tell you the truth Im not exactly sure, the motors not at my house. Here's a picture with the belts off if that can tell you anything or not.

Yup, you will need to change your tensioner pulley to a ribbed and route it like in the diagram I posted.

how do I do that? is that a part I can get at the parts store?

No, its a bolt on. Torx or 15mm, I have seen both.

can I buy it at a parts store?

Thats a smooth one too, you need the same pulley in ribbed.

also, do I just buy a regular oil filter for a 3800sc or do I need a special one for the fitment issue? I have a 2001 regal GS motor and I think it already has the right adapter on it.

Base on the drawing the water pump also require a ribbed pulley? Is there a part number for that?

Watter pump rides the back of the belt and keeps the stock pulley.

Hey Mike, I went to O'reilly's today to get those parts but they said they didn't have either one of those hoses you told me to get. where do you get yours?

They should be able to cross reference, but Autozone stocks them here.

Alright thank you. The guy at O'reilly's said they don't carry them anymore, he said their in the system but they haven't have them in almost a year

I know this is going to sound bad but which hose connects to what?

LOL, i dont recall which is which, but one goes from the T-stat housing to the left coolant tube, and the othe from the water pump to the right coolant tube. Will be obvious which is which when you have them.

Alright thank you lol

After looking at the pics in the links I would say the 1082 is the T-stat side, and 1030 is the waterpump side, but hard to tell by the pics.

alright well as long as its easy to tell when I start to hook them up then its fine
