Long story short, My friend is planning on picking up a fiero with a 3800 series 1 S/C. Engine is locked up, I have a baby 3800 (3300) with 70K on it that I have personally heard run and I suggested that we just put the supercharged stuff on the 3300 and call it a day.

I know the 3300 will have higher compression but I figure with the drop in displacement the compression will be fine since it will still be trying to fuel the bigger engine.

Basically, my real question is (if anyone on here knows), can I just do a top swap onto the 3300 with the S/C parts and everything bolt up and such? I am sure I will have to switch some sensors around and such but that doesn't bother me if the S/C will swap over.

Thanks

The 3300 and series II 3800SC share nothing in common. Series I 3800SC parts and the small M60 supercharger might fit the 3300.

I figured it would be different from the series 2, but The car in question specifically has a series 1 S/C, and I have the 3300, so I am not worried about series 2 stuff at this time.

It would be interesting to see a 3300 with the M62 on it... that supercharger was almost too small for the Series 1 3800 and would probably be more efficient on a 3300.

Sounds like a cool project if everything works. Definitely will need some tuning though...

Edit: I don't know how big the differences are, but the 3300 is a pre-Series1 engine... the supercharger was never used on that generation. It still would be a cool experiment!

I've been thinking about getting parts from a series 1 SC and running them on my 3300 Buick Century... hmmm

The 3300 V6 engine cannot accept the intake manifold or supercharger from a Series 1 3800 engine.

The 3300 V6 has about a 1" shorter block deck height than the Series 1 3800. Therefore, the intake manifold is narrower on the 3300 than it is on the 3800 Series 1.

You can't use any Series 2 or 3 parts on the 3300 because the cam and heads are different.
