Hey everyone, My names Dan from NH. I recently inherited 2 Oldsmobiles, a 1991 Cutlass Ciera w/ a 3300 and a 1989 Eighty Eight w/ a 3800 (A LN3 i believe??). its my understanding that a 3800 LN3 is pretty easily supercharged using L67 components? Anyway, The eighty eight is in amazing shape drivetrainwise but is missing a functioning blower motor and a drivers door window. I've been through 3 yards in sub freezing temperatures and no Delta88's or Lesabre's of the 85-91 variety. So if anyone knows where i can find that pane of glass or the part number for the blower motor, that would be most appreciated.

I plan on supercharging the 88 as a daily driver for myself, right now i am thinking cheap and mild, however it will probably take on new life as i go, i have a tendency to avalanche my projects. The Ciera is very dear to my wife and i will probably be restoring it and customizing it cosmetically a bit. (I'm thinking fender skirts and the extended rear bumper w/ a full size spare, some 50's side mirrors, shave the trim and i might suicide the rear door. Right now that cars not running though, and if i have to remove the engine it will probably be swapped for a more powerful option, is forced induction possible with a 3300 without excessive fabrication?


Anyway, what i'm really looking for is answers, I'm hoping this isn't a dead forum like the first 5 i had arrived at. Thank you for taking the time!

More practical to use the entire powertrain, including its management system.

Same answer as above: Possible but not practical.

Okay, so an entire L67 Drivetrain in both? How hard is it to get the L67 to fit into a '91 ceira? Does it use my stock brackets? Does anyone make poly urethane inserts for them?

you also need to factor in rather your talking about using l67 Series 1 supercharged parts or series 2, series 1, 92-95 utilized the eaton m62 and various other diffrent parts than the more popular l67 s2 (97-00')

When i got into turbododges, they recomend you read Thedodgegarage.com and dempseybowling.com to let everyone get the majority of information about their vehicles and parts, Is there a section on here or another site where I can learn about all the different drivetrain configurations people are using? I'm all about doing the homework, but i just need a viable reference point. Didn't the Ford Supercoupe (T-bird) utilize an eaton m62? (or was it an M60?).

Not too many guys here doing things like that. www.3800pro.com has more of that sort of thing, but like anywhere else, you need to take some of the advice given with a grain of salt.

If you are 'serious' about the performance of this conversion, you should use the entire L67 powerplant. It will end up being quite a bit easier.

TOC is not affiliated with that site, or at least not that I know of. Not sure what you mean by host, but it's a completely different site.
