I'm having the work done by Turbokraft here in Arizona.

I currently have a re-sleeved M96 to 3.8L. Makes roughly 300 wheel on a good day.

I am going to need a solution to get a beefier transmission, though.

California Motorsports is your best bet & they have moved to AZ

Hmmmm....a boosted 3.8 may negate the need for expensive 3.8 heads....very interesting

Jaykay,

I believe that the 3.8 and 3.4 heads are the same, of course I could be wrong..

I remember reading this when I was going to send my 3.4 (987S) to Hoffman Automotive when planning to build my LN 3.8 engine
