GrimZ34 Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hey I have a 1995 Monte Carlo with a 3.4DOHC 4 speed auto. Would a 2004-2005 3.8 3800 Series III Supercharged V-6 Engine fit into my car. I've looked up the Tran's and think it will hook up but not im not 100% also if it will hook up how much work would need to be done (wiring, computer, ex.) The engine im looking at is at http://www.gmpartsdepot.com # 12499470. If you could help me out that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 well...isnt the series III 3800 pretty much the same as the series II!?...i don't think there should be much problem swapping it...as i know there are a few people that swapped L67's into their monte's...you might wanna check out http://www.l67swap.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Go with the Series II. The Series III has and electronic throttle, and your car is not equipped for such a thing... The L36 (n/a 3800 Series II) will drop right in. In fact, the Monte had the L36 in 98 and 99 (and of course it had it from 2000-present) so you could get a complete drivetrain, PCM, harness, and axles from a 98-99 Monte or Lumina LTZ with the L36 and have no problems installing it in your 95. I'm not too sure what you'd have to change on the harness(es) to get everything to work. You might want to check L67Swap.com or MyMonte.com to see if anyone has done the swap before... If you want the L67 (supercharged 3800 Series II) then check out L67Swap.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaloutsider Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 There are plenty of fiero guys running Getrag 282's right along with their L67. You could opt for the beefier 284, but parts for it are expensive and hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimZ34 Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 what is a Getrag 282's and what does it come off of ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox340 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 what is a Getrag 282's and what does it come off of ? A Getrag 282 is the 5-speed manual transmission found in the late 80's and early 90's that was mated to the 2.8L or 3.1L V6. Easy to be found in wrecked J-Bodies, L-Bodies, some W-Bodies, and the Fiero. - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimZ34 Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 what kinda J-Bodies, L-Bodies, some W-Bodies do they come off of..sry but i dont know much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excelsior Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 ummmm alll i would think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman429 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 what kinda J-Bodies, L-Bodies, some W-Bodies do they come off of..sry but i dont know much. If it's a J-body(cavalier) or an L-body(beretta/corsica) with a five speed, then it is a 282. Unless it is a newer Cavalier, or Beretta GTZ with a twin cam/Quad 4 engine. N-bodys(grand am) would likely have a 282 trans as well If it's a W-body, it's a 282, unless the engine is a 3.4 twin cam, then it will be a 284 (beefier). He said some W-bodys because they are rather hard to find in a w-body, but it is possible. I saw a 90 Grand Prix 2 door at the junk yard with a 5 speed (282) and a 3.1 in it. A trans swap into the STE would have been in order, had it been a 284, and had I the motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
