Bumped thread to help a new member + other member's that may be interested in the above topic..

 

Great article Space.

I was thinking of buying one of the upgraded manifolds to keep on hand. Dorman makes one.

 

Nice bump space
FYI - For members looking to replace the lower intake gaskets, DO NOT BUY ANY PLASTIC/NYLON gaskets. Replace with Fel-Pro aluminum gaskets. This will help aid in never messing with them again.
Also, if you need a new upper intake, go with the APN one, found here:
GM Intake Manifold Kit

This one has a few features the other vendors don't offer and was re-designed with the help of a Bonneville 3800 community.

 

LoL `Jason, I also bumped this thread waiting for you to post the above new great information to our MCF Member's

Thanks again for sharing & all your help to our Monte Carlo family member's. We appreciate 4-Sure

 

This is the main reason I bought one.

 

How hard is it to get one of these 3800 supercharged engines into a 1995 z34 and make it run right?

Thanks

nice article space!!

some great positive info!

 

I read that on a wiki. I think its cool we are running around on an updated 50 year old design.

 

That was a great article. Very interesting that a design that old survived as long as it did. The 3800 is a fantastic engine. It's easily modified to make more horsepower if that's your thing or it can be left along and will get great mpg on the highway.
I had a 1988 Delta 88 that I purchased for $1500 with 188,000 miles on the clock. That car had the series I 3800 and believe it or not got 30-33 miles per gallon on the highway. I sold it at 230,000 miles for $1100. Still running strong when I sold it.
