Even if they both have a 4T60-E, the internal wiring will be different.
A 3400 swap would probably be easier, and have the same HP. But you already have the 3800, I suppose.

A Series 2 3800 supercharged motor was swapped into a Grand Am by a friend of ours out West here. And it wasn't easy.
The fit is VERY tight, and many modifications will be necessary.

thanks
Ya i know i woudn't have a lot of room to work with the passenger side engine mount and fuel were my first concerns. i don't know if the pumps put out the same gpm. the cooling system was another thought cause i would have to get the hoses just right to clear everything. I hate A/C any way it adds wieght and is in the way plus it is just another thing i would have to covert. If i had the time and money i would but i put some figures together and i can afford it right now so maybe when the engine in my '89 sunbid goes out i will have another good sleeper project idea. i have seen and L67 in a sunbird coupe so i know i can put my NA 3800 in to the engine bay.
