3.8 L superchargers will the supercharger on the gtp and ssei fit a 3.8 v-6 in an f-body. he reason i ask is that i heard the the gtp and ssei motors were different something like they had a deeper v to them. if it wont fit who makes a good roots type blower for the 3.8 in an f-body
SSEI and GTP both use the L67 with Eaton M90... same motors. I'm sure you could make a L67 work with a different blower. I believe the aussies have a L67 motor that is RWD and a top mounted M90 blower... the casing is different and moved the TB to correct position where it would work, almost makes a u turn into the rear of the M90.
www.firebirdv6com has had many threads on this.
I actually saw a mule GM car with that setup in a 93-97 Firebird body, was pretty cool. It ran a ram air hood to clear the front assembly.

The only problem would be that the throttle body side would be burried in your fire wall. I have seen and mp90 that the throttle body was like that of the 2003 cobra but for a 3.8. I'm not sure who made it but that is what you need.

I actually considered an FI 3800 V6 setup for my project because I could get the 3800 and 4L60E for almost free by buying and parting out a wrecked F-Body... I'm curious what kind of power you can make with one.

Shameless plug.
If you think about the cost/benefit of trying to put an M90 on an Fbody L36, it doesn't make sense when you consider the centrifugal supercharger options or turbo.

i got another question what is the difference between the series 2 3.8 and the series 3 3.8. and i figure out the hood and airbox location issue. well at least for the 96-97 3.8 the 3in ss that vfn or a ZL-1 hood or ultra Z hood. the airbox for the 96-97 ss was on top of the motor and pretty close to the firewall. i could pipe it using unversal exhasut that is sold at advance or napa

-they have CSC's, and you could talk to Stattama about turbos... not sure if the csc's could be adapted to the longitudinally mounted setup (RWD) though.

Unfortunately, the 3.8L in the F-body versus the 3.8L in the Grand Prix / Bonneville have some significant differences not simply in terms of mounting in the car, but overall upper engine design. The upper and lower intake manifolds are totally different. The fact of the matter is that a Roots-style blower just won't clear the cowl of an F-body... that's a big part of why you really don't see those types of blowers for F-bodies, but they're very popular with the Truck/GTO crowd.
If you've got to go FI, I'm sure that if you talk to ZZP they'd work with you. I've bought several products from ZZP for my Grand Prix, and they've been nothing but great. If you've got the time and money, I'm sure that if you talk to Zoomer, he'll work something out for you. Might want to check out ClubGP.com for more research.
