Spent 5 hours today in the junkyard pulling needed parts off a 95 Buick Regal 3800 L32 (non supercharged) after a couple hours and everything disconnected (cut or otherwise removed) the yard guy lifted the car leaving the cradle and exaust sitting on the ground, I got all the stuff in the pic (not the HD trans!) for 200$ alt, starter, many sensors and plugs, coil pack, spark plug boot protectors, multiple engine brackets, 3 idler pullys, exaust manifolds & crossover - hacksawed below the downpipe, air cond compressor, dipsticks, and a pain in the butt to remove oil filter adapter.

I dont need the oil filter adapter, im almost certain its the prefered adapter for the 3800 swap - I only got it because I knew I could get it next to nothing with all the other stuff I got, and that someone on the forum might need one. $25 shipped to continental US. - for some reason plug in the center missing?



oh, another thing... found a 90 grand prix with turbo intercooled 3.3 (or was it 3.1) looks like the entire turbo unit was unmolested but im not an expert on turbos but it might be worth a look, junkyard is Mason Dixon on route 1 right at the MD/PA state line, the Grand prix is Red. I believe they are open until 4pm Sat.
if someone gets this please post reply so I dont cross post to clubgp next week.

200? Yikes, I wouldnt have paid more than $50 for that stuff from my "old" local junkyard in ohio, dont know about down here yet. Most of the Mich guys doing 3800SC swaps only paid $200 for there complete setups from Junkyards, so id have to say "nay", not a good deal.....

I would ask how much they want for the complete turbo set up, but i prob dont want to know.....

um? here in Flint you would be crazy to pay over 500 for a trans and a motor. So yea I vote bad deal also, as these are just nickel and dime parts.

It wasnt an L32 (they are the series3 supercharged motors), it was a L36.
