Not for the 3.8. Us v6ers kind of have a problem finding a good kit, unless you go with an sts universal, I'm personally not a fan. If you can afford it, get a supercharger kit, I'm pretty sure that one of vortech's kit fits, I forgot which one though.

thanks guys, i dont really want to put a supercharger on it, but i look into it and find the pros,and cons. I have found another one at cartuning performance but its at the $5k range.

because it takes an EXTREME amount of work to get it done and to run right. the motor doesnt just bolt right in. as of right now, there is one car that i know of that has an M90 bolted L67 in a camaro. thats mine. i know of one other guy that is 95% done with his conversion. he is having a starting issue he is trying to resolve. there is very limited room to work with and takes some fabricating to get it done.

never said anything about you not knowing anything about either. and since you obviously know everything about both...enlighten me as to why you havent done it or seen it done?

02 WS6 TA · 05-24-2010, 07:07 AM

Maybe you oughta re-read the thread you're active on at fullthrottle V6... Only one other than yours, huh? LOL. I haven't because I don't want to build a V6 fbody. You act like there's rocket science involved there.

02pewtersix · 05-24-2010, 08:12 AM

yea, one. like i said there is one other building one and almost finished. its been thrown around by a couple other members over there...but one other person is the only one so far. people ask everyday if its possible..is it yes, does it just swap over, no. since you know everything about M90's and 4th gens you would already know that.
