This engine is installed in the GTP model Pontiac Grand Prixs at the General
Motors
Plant where I work. The engine is set up to be transversely mounted for front
wheel drive using an automatic transmission. The engine also looks very wide.
You
would be better off putting in a 215 / 3.5 Buick / Rover engine. In stock form
it
develops 185 Hp and can easily develop 240 Hp with a few tweaks. This engine is
designed for rear wheel drive and is a lot lighter.
The supercharged 3.8 liter is a great engine though. It propels my 3500 lb four
door GTP Grand Prix from 0 to 60 in 6.4 seconds and gets better than 26 miles
per
gallon.
