Hello all. I have a question for the 3800 swappers. I've done a number of these swaps over the years and have always used the supercharger belt tensioning arragement from a 98 GP in the past in order to fit under the passenger side decklid hinge box. However I can't seem to find one at my local pick a part. Does anyone know if the setup from a 2001 Bonneville SSEI will fit? Thanks |

I've found that the Bonneville supercharger belt tensioner bracket's front idler pulley hits the Fiero firewall, so it won't work. However, don't limit your search to 3800 SC W-body (Regal, Grand Prix, Impala, etc) cars for the bracket - most other W-body cars with the 3800 non-supercharged engine used the same bracket (because it is part of one of the dog-bone motor mounts); it just doesn't have a tensioner arm or idler pulley attached to it from the factory (but you can buy those parts separately).
