Where should I look for a GM 3800 Series2 drivetrain? I prefer it to be in a wrecked car and have a super charger on it. Any ideas on where to find such a thing?

 

wow thats alot ya want there
i have a 3800 with trans and crossmember and computer andengine harness in my back yard for sale make me an offer and you pay shipping

 

Where are you located? I don't need a trans or crossmember. I want to start with a running car so I can pull every wire and sensor needed to keep it running. That include the ignition from key to coil too. Is yours a Series 2? What did it come out of? Condition? Miles? ...

 

well i live in detroit mi a nd the engine came out of my car i did a ls1 swap
i canget you just the engine but how would i go about shipping it you cant get the key or steering colum or the bcm that cointrols all that ... thats running my car now

 

This is why I posted it in the Florida forum. It could be slapped onto a pallet and shipped freight but I am hesitant to spend a dime on a motor I can't see run. And sight unseen is definately out of the question for me, sorry. I've been screwed on motors before that looked just fine on the outside. Plus I'd still have to find all of the other odds and ends that I want too. So I think I'll pass on your generous offer. Thanks anyway.

 

lol its cool thats gonna be kinda hard youd have to find it in a car that runs fine and if it runs fine why would they sale it i have one laying around because i put an ls1 in my car so i have a 3800 in my car i got a few pics on my cardomain site but goood luck with your search

 

Hmmm... what might THIS be for? Seems like everyone in CR has engine swap-itis

 

What's this? I can't believe that 99 RWHP isn't enough for you!

 

That was why I was thinking of a salvage auction type of deal. I don't want to chop up a car that is still in good condition. But if one presented itself...

So... Salvage auction info anybody?

 

I am sure you already now about it...

but www.clubgp.com

they have a florida section their too... if it helps.


PS you check autotrader? a long time ago(I think before the hurricanes) there was someone selling a 97 GTP I think, or it was a 99, that needed work for $1k.


but might be something you were looking into.
