Hi, I have some questions and they may seem stupid but not as dumb as not asking.
1. what is the purpous of drilling out a T-stat and what is the best way to go about doing it?
2. will the throttle body from a 98 L67 fit on a 98 L36?

2. 99% sure NO

In addition to what Haro posted, there a re a TON of threads dealing with drilled 'stats here. If you haven't aquainted yourself with SEARCH yet, now'* a good time.

In the meantime, here'* one simple one:
Drilled Thermostat

thanks for the help and I will get familliar with the SEARCH option. I am sure the administrator does not need multiple postings of the same crap.

from techinfo:
About the only thing these cars really have in common other than outside appearance is the Throttle Body.

that was from the article about supercharging a NA engine...so are they interchangeable or not?

Throttle bodies from L67 to L36 are FAR from being even remotely compatible. Even if it would bolt up, you'd gain nothing.

ok, thanks for the info. guess I would be better off doing a northstar tb conversion. cha ching $$$.

The throttle body swap is not that much cha, ching, its all of the other things that cost a bit of money like the gen V SC at about $600 +

well I thats not bad. an ATI Procharger would cost about $2000 and thats assuming I cold find one to fit my 1998 bonneville SE.

That ATI is a centrifugal supercharger versus the roots style we have, which does allow for slightly more boost that the roots can. Well, it generates less heat at the same boost, I should say, thus allowing the ability to feed more to the intake. So it will cost a bit more.
