|
|
| i was wondering if I could find a set of headersfor a 3,8l to put on my 3.3L The engines and exhaust are extremely similar. I found some for a Buick Century 3.8L on jcwhitney's site but the year isn't listed. I had my friend look up exhaust manifold gaskets for my car and a 3.8l century and they use exactly the same part! also If I could find a bigger throttle body for a 3.8L I was wondering if it would fit, I know some earlier 3.8's look awfully interchangeable. my manual says the 2 engines only have a .10" bore difference. Would it be beneficial to swap if the parts are similar and fit? |

Hi jpfootball07, hello all,

Welcome to TOC.
It's an old post and the subject has been done to death.
Short answer is: Not practical
