You might be able to if you get the engine and drivetrain from a 4th gen camaro and then the supercharger and hack together a harness and computer system. But I don't see why you'd want to go to that much truble.

I have seen where most people don't have a clue what wheels drive what end of a car. Your buddy is a good example.

I just got done reading an old (1988) issue of Muscle Car Review. MCSS Aerocoupe vs. GNX. The writer was beotching about the lack of a V8 rumble from the GNX and how the GNX was high maintainence, or appeared that it could be. Yep. I think they call that talking out of your ass.

I think everyone's hope is the 3800 will fall in place where a 3.8 was. Looking at that swap, I see a hole in the firewall and one the crossmember. He says it was a "lot of work".

I have a rwd 3.8 and a fwd 3800 - they are similar, but the different. I would love a 3800 L67 in a rwd car, but for all the work involved, I can put up with fwd.

Maybe the "guy" in the first post put a L67 in a 1988-1996 REGAL. That would be easy. (early 90's would have been a series I 3800 motor.)

there was a guy down at Thunder Valley dragstrip in Oklahoma with the 3800 SC engine in a 4th gen Camaro. He made some homemade air intake and moved the throttlebody up around toward the front.
