I still have the top end to my 92 grand prix gt broken down

I found out I busted 2 valves and may have fucked some other shit up.

after some resaearch I found that after doing some upgrades to the brakes ($250-300) , supension ($150-200) , and ading a stb brace to stiffing the body up I could get performance suposidly eqal if not better than a bmw m3

that is if I upgraded to a gm 3800 series II v6 that includes a greddy blower style supercharger ( close to 300hp with all stock parts)

so hears the qeustion if I could finde the 3800 series II cheap ($400-$700 with dads discount) ya think it would be worth the swap?

if I swaped the motor I would also swap my sport package from a 92 gt to a 96 gt because it looks smoother and up to date and fits perfectly

no opinions on this?

upgrade to bmw level peformance or back to stock sell it fast?

I found the engine online for $890 but.......that was with over 84k miles

I'm lookin localy now

I'm triying to see if I can just use the super charger pulleys and belts from a 3800 II engine on my 3.1

I know the pulleys and belts will work but I dont know if the supercharger will mount up.
