There is his phone number and email to get a quote. I'm sure the $700 figure is for a gen 3, gen 5's are usually a bit more steep. He runs a wbody junkyard, so its going to be parts only- you'll need to get your own fluids and gaskets.

 

Thats a big help thanks a bunch

 

Luckily the fluids and gaskets won't take you anywhere near the $1300 though

 

Morad is great. Both Erik and Ed are very helpful and very friendly, and are a pleasure to deal with in general (which is more than I can say about most of the W-body vendors).

There is almost always a top swap for sale on clubgp in the classified section, and there is often more than one complete top swap for sale. ( clubgp.com/newforum - go down to the grand prix parts for sale section)
The going rate is about $500 + shipping for stock blower, lim, heads, crank pulley, tensioner, injectors, and fuel rails. Some include the belt as well, and some might include gaskets (although head gaskets are pricey so i wouldn't expect them to be included for a $500 setup but you never know). Most setups are OBO, so you could probably get an even better deal or may be able to work out a trade with someone.

Top swap for sale

04MonteCarloSS -
Your sig says that you have an Intimidator with a modded setup. Are you asking about switching your gen 3 blower out with a gen 5 blower?
Or are you inquiring about doing a top swap on a different n/a car?
The OP was asking about doing a top swap on an n/a SS, not doing the gen 3 to gen 5 conversion.
They are quite different swaps. The gen 5 swap is definitely less labor intensive (if you are working with an L67), but requires slightly different parts than a standard top swap does.
I just want to make sure you are not confused when you go to buy the parts.
You don't want to top swap that Intimidator, as it is already supercharged.

I am going from a gen three to gen 5 why does it matter

 

The original post in this thread (and most of the information about the $699 deal) is for someone who has a non-supercharged SS and wants to put a supercharger on it.

What you are doing is something completely different.

The OP's question was whether he should buy a gen 3 or buy a gen 5 when he bought the supercharger.
