4.3L TT Swap
I have a '96 3800 Firebird with about 135,000 miles on.....This spring I want to swap the 3800 out for a 4.3L V6 and throw 2 turbos on it...I need to know if this has ever been done before and if it is at all possible, and what exactly would be involved....personally, i've never seen this done before, and I want something that no one would expect......thanks for the help

Sure its possible, anything is. Its not going to be easy, your not just going to be able to bolt it up "cause it use regular small block mounts" like Bubba told you, you better be able to fabricate parts.

You're probably best off to turbo or supercharge the 3.8. The 3.8 is one of the best motors GM ever made, the series II 3.8 had a S/C on the 97-03 GP GTP's. Also the 3.8 in the F-Bodies is just a newer version of the one used in the Buick GN's. So I'd personally keep the 3.8 unless you do an LT1 or LS1 swap.
