post up engine bay pics and mod list/1320 times. just curious to see what a 3.8 s/c looks like mounted in the right direction.

v-8

It is not possible to run a roots style blower on a fbody, because of the fact that the engine is under the winshield, not adiquate room to mount, unless you want to cut the H*ll out of your cowl..

Theres an LT1 guy on here that did a custom one. Not sure how it would work on an L36 motor though. What year is the car? The grand prix came with the series II s/c engine as an option but I believe they were mounted different in the car. Your best bet is to check out a V6 board and see what theyve done. Have you considered a centrifugal blower?

i was reffering to the " it wont fit" post, ive heard of some people trying to retro fit pontiac blowers but ive never seen one

That's what I was th9inking, if an LS1 can do it, a v6 should be no problem. May have to cut the cowl, but you do with the LS1 maggie.

if theres room under there (on the v6's) for an upper intake plenum then theres room for a supercharger, not much difference in overall size.

Doesnt fit, mainly because the m90 supercharger is made for a fwd engine.

Most just use the centrifigul powerdyne, it works pretty good on the 6's.


I think there's one v6 that succesfully made a "roots" blower work, that's about it.

ok i c, looks like the main problem would be routing a tube for the inlet of the m90.

the supercharger off a grand prix or other GM vehicle will not work with a 3.8 in a camaro period. You would be better off buying a powerdyne and calling it a day than trying to get one of those on. The engines are positioned differently in those vehicles that make the supercharger work correctly.
