What does it take to install a factory supercharger on a 3800 that did not come with one? I have a 2002 SS that I would like to do this to if it is not to complicated.

You have two options. Go to ZZperformance.com, click on Grand Prix and find the SSM90 kit. It's the supercharger, a modded LIM, and some other mess that you can bolt up to your motor. Or, get the heads, harmonic balancer, LIM, blower, etc from an L67 and do a complete top end swap.

Is the search broken?

The two options that nitehawk gave are pretty much it. The top swap will be the cheapest (sometimes you can get it all done for about $500), but it's also the hardest to do. The SSM90 kit is more expensive but it's much easier to install.

There's tons of info around the forum regarding "top swaps". Just use the search feature and type "top swap" and you'll find all the info you can possibly handle. If you're mechanically inclined it shouldn't be too hard, but if you problems replacing alternators or power steering pumps, I would have someone else do it.
