wut?

You're not looking very hard if the only L67 you can find is from milzy.
Seems incredibly overpriced too, if the prices previously posted in this thread are accurate.

I believe the Grand Prix GT is not supercharged.

If you want an L67, you'll need to look for one from one of these:

W-bodys: Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, Buick Regal GS, Monte Carlo SC SS, Impala SS
H-bodys: Pontiac Bonneville SSEI, Buick Park Avenue Ultra, Buick Riviera

You can find these cars in many junkyards or craigslist.com or even eBay (Morads parts). Don't get the engine from Milzy, he's way over priced and if you do the work yourself, you should be able to do the swap for less then $1000. Also make sure that the engine you get comes from a vehicle that's from 98 or newer.

agreed. all honesty id be surprised if you couldnt find a car in the junkyard that was tagged from behind and get the whole car for under a grand and do the swap at your own leisure at home.

If it's a 2007+, then kinda.
the '97-'03 GT came with the L36. Similar engine to the L67, but no supercharger.

-Riggs.

Wasn't it 05 or 06 because this is when they got ride of the GTP and introduced the GXP. Which then meant the GT got the L32 and the regular Grand Prix got the L26. For supercharged 97-03 got the L67 and 04+ got the L32 and the NA 3800's were L36 and L26(04+) persectively.

What I would do continue to look around the local junkyards or you can also check the W-body forums there are a lot of guys selling engines. Also look into ZZP. I personally don't think about him when it comes to the 3800 market.

I would go with WOTTECH for the 3.4 parts and upgrades, I didnt read the whole thread just the first post and last, so i take it someone convinced you the the 3800 is the way to go...somehow...Anyways, i'm building for 250-275 crank HP on a 3400, with a mild/light cam, full porting, and 120* longtube headers, and a dyno tune. i dont believe in downloaded tunes.
Anyways, Ben at WOTTECH offers even better prices and better work IMO on the 60*v6. I'd personally stay with the 3.4 and build it right.

There's nothing wrong with building a 3400. Except for they are the weaker and less reliable of the two engines offered in the our cars. They are known for engine problems we don't even need to talk about that. I think what I was saying and others as well is that why would you put that much money into an engine like the 3400 just to end up at what a stock L67/L32 enigne out of the box. Have more power and probably maybe come out even in price with the other things that you would need to make it work and have reliablity on your side comparitivly speaking to the 3400.

Your planning for 275 on the high end for your 3400 build so were speaking maybe 240 on the high end to the wheels around there +/- a few horsies. I don't it for me personally it didn't make sense to me. You should post a thread about your build I would love to follow it and read it.
