Buick 3800 Have a chance to pick up a Buick 3800 V6 built with a super charger. Considering replacing my 5.3 with it. No wiring and no pcm. I know the tooth count on crank trigger wheel is different. Question is could a guy use a LS pcm with lots of wiring or is it better to just go mega squirt or what do you guys think?

I was told that it would bolt up but I am finding information that says that guy was full of crop and didn't know what he was talking about. The supercharger off that motor is probably not good for any kind of LS applications either right?
GM 3800 V6 engines use a 60* V6 bellhousing flange. 82-02 4cyl and V6 Fbodys along with a bunch of similar era FWD cars use that flange
Unless you have a LS4 FWD, then it's not much use as a replacement for LS. The SC inlet is also rear facing, so difficult to use in a RWD arrangement
Don't kill a good L67 by taking just the blower. Fiero guys love them as replacements for their 4/6cyls
