Howdy.. I have a 2001 SS and the mileage is gettin up there and its startin to run pretty sluggish.. Not really a big deal cause i wanna get a new motor and tranny for it anyways. The problem is i cant find ANYWHERE that sells3800's ive searched google, yahoo ect.. but still no luck.

So there for i need some help.. Haha if anyone knows of any websites that might be helpful I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

 

Ebay will have used 3800 on there every so often. I wouldnt be surprised if one was on now. I dont know if you could find any new ones on there. You may have to go to gmpartsdirect.com for that.

 

http://www.crateenginedepot.com possibly.

 

car-part.com

Search for 2004, Monte Carlo, Engine, and when it prompts you for engine type, select VIN "1", not VIN "K". VIN 1 is the Supercharged 3800.

When you find one that's close to you, (you can sort by price or distance), call them up, ask them the condition, whether's it's a complete engine (most descriptions on the search results will tell you alot, including mileage), and then ask them if they have the matching 4T65e-HD tranny to go with it.

Good luck with your search.

 

The only v6 engine they list is an old 3.4 s10 engine.

IMO its retarded to buy a new crate engine anyways. Junkyards are filled with 3800 series 2 cars- most of the ones I've seen sell online, especially L36s seem to go for $750 or less (I've seen some long block L36s go for $250). Plus with the shear number of 3800 cars out there, you're bound to find some with decent mileage.

The last time I saw prices on L36 and L67 crate engines, they were up in the $3k range- still missing a lot of accessories and such.

I would try:
