Opinion Needed: Top Swap 3800

Top Swap 3800
My cuisin is going to scrap his 2001 GTP with the supercharged 3800, I have a 2003 Monte SS with a 3800 as well, the cars have near the same mileage on them. Would it be possible to take the supercharger and put in in my car? Could it handle the boost? Or would it be smarter to do a whole engine swap? Thank you in advance for any help!

search on here or google search "top swap" that will be all the info you need.
in short dont bother with a zzp ssm90 kit as the mod market for them kits suck. if you use his car as a donor car you will need pretty much everything off that engine from the heads up including all pulleys, injectors, some wiring. in all honesty its probably easier to swap the whole engine than to top swap.
also keep in mind if you do top swap you will get kr easier do to having a higher compression ratio compared to the sc engine.
na engine 9.4:1
sc engine 8.5:1
