Please Help- 3.1 to 3.8 supercharged in a 92 camaro?

I was looking to change out my 3.1 liter in my 92 Camaro to a 3.8 liter (out of a Pontiac Bonneville or something similar) i was wondering what kind of work is involved in this swap. Does anyone know ow much work/money or where i can find this information. Im new to the site, hope im doing it right. Thanks

someone has probably done it. did you try searching yet?

i think that since the 3800 is a 90* V6 insted of a 60* V6 it wont be a direct bolt up. you might be better off doing a 305 or 350 unless your dead set on a 3800. if theres a will theres a way it just costs money hah.

well the 3800 is pretty nutts for a 6 and its great on gas, so i was hoping for it. I dont really want to go with a 8 because of gas. Is there any other 6's that you know of that might be "easier"

you could do a 3.4L swap since its the same engine just more displacment. you might get more replies if you try posting in the V6 specific Sub-Forum on this site. Im a V8 guy so i might not be a huge help.
