Did a similar build on my '99 GS. Full Comp Cam kit, double roller timing chain (CR balance shaft removed- balance has to be dead-nuts), Mahle pistons- bumped compression ratio, powered metal rods (GM factory forged rods starting '00-'01), intercooler, ARP stud kits, Cometc head gaskets, slightly worked heads, headers...you'd be surprised at how torquey these 3.8L are!

Did you guys do the proper torque sequence on the main bearings and cylinder heads? Also, did you check the main and rod bearing clearances using plasti gauge or dial bore gauges?

just one thing to add to your engine building prowess. the camshaft should go in before the crankshaft assy. its much easier to guide the cam through the journals. other then that nice build. looking forward to seeing it completed.

luv the fuel pressure gague, been trying to find one with no luck. remember where u got yours from?

good vid how did u go about initial start up to build oil pressure.

You can put them in either order of crank or cam first. If you need to, put the cam in first but there is no reason why you HAVE to put one in before the other.

I know this video is a little old, but I'm getting ready to swap in a 3800 series 3 supercharged v6 from an 07 Grand Prix GT into my 01 firebird. Getting the engine for $250, with a little less than 100,000 miles. Plan to do a rebuild kit - just to be safe, 180° tstat, colder spark plugs, 3.4 inch pulley, N* throttle body, headers, cat back exhaust, and a tune. Might add the intercooler later, after seeing how things run. From what I've read I can use my harness, and computer - with a tune. Only problem I have to address is fitting the supercharger. Plan on using an elbow pipe to avoid cutting into the firewall. Wish me luck! Or any advice is appreciated.

@extremedrivr

Why 180 TStat???? You should go 160!!!! Anything hotter than that is simply too taxing on the cooling system and engine. Thats part of what causes engines to overheat is cooling temps being allowed to run too darn hot. 160s are the way to go. Your engine will thank you and will last many numerous miles longer because of a 160. And dont anyone give me flak about this. I know what I am talking about. Hope that helps.

No it is a completely different engine family. The only bolt on supercharger ever made for the 60 degree V6 was the Fageol Supercharger. They are hard to find but do pop up on ebay from time to time. To make this specific blower work your best bet would be to modify the lower manifold of a Camaro and weld a supercharger base to it. Not even sure if it will work but its worth a look.

The top fitting goes to pre-blower vacuum. This pulls the bypass valve open when vacuum is high (throttle closed). The bottom can be left open, or connected to the boost bypass solenoid, which uses post-blower boost to force the bypass open when in reverse or neutral. Hope this helps!

i noticed you guys used no rtv in some important places, like the oil pan for one, just a gasket will leak. the pan bolts should also have thread sealant on them, those bolts go right into the block and oil splashes on the threads. the bottom two inches of the timing cover gasket, rtv both sides of the bottom where it would meet the pan, same for the rear cover. the timing cover bolts and the 4 long water pump bolts also need thread sealant or they can leak coolant on ya. i did all this on my 3800 and 2 years later not a drop of any fluids are to be found. i didnt hear any talk about a machine shop for the block. hope it was sent off to one, or you might have just built a 200 mile engine. or less in some cases. take the crank out and these blocks twist, bolt all new stuff in there and its rappin rodney pretty fast if its not had the crank boar align honed
