A friend of mine just got an '82 firebird that used to have the original V6 in it for real cheap.

He can get a 3.8 out of a newer f-body for almost nothing (so he says) and wants to put that in there with a turbo setup, He has hp tuners and everything. Was wondering what would have to be done to make that work?

I think it be different and pretty sweet if it was done right and with the right setup, What You guys think? Can it be done?

Re: Curious...

ummmmm, yes.

I did the 3800 II as one of my 34,561 engine swaps in my 85 bird.

I was going to say. Check with him.

There's another guy that did it to his 86 Camaro, but I don't think he's a member here.

Yeah I'm just curious as to how getting a pcm and wiring harness and coi packs and all that to work in a car that didnt come with that kind of technology.

I guess You just put it all where it is in the 4th gens?

I think I'm thinking of the guy that did the LT1 swap into his Firebird...that was epic fail, haha.
