Non-Thirdgen related. Grand Am GT questions

Hello all,

I just recently purchased a 2003 Grand Am GT after I totalled my 1998 Malibu. Let me tell yo uthese things can scoot. Anyways the story goes, almost all of the mods that you can do to these cars are the "***** mods", of which I am trying to stay away from.

Okay, so I am under the impression that the 3.8L out of the newer GTP and Grand Prix are of the same block as my 3.4L, is this true? I was just curious that if they were, are there interchangeable parts....such as the supercharger assembly and intake manifold? what about throttle bodies...

just curious, because there are no serious mods to do other than the catback and the "cold air intake"

3.4 and 3.8 are totally different blocks and design. Not a single thing will swap over.

I'm amazed by how much scoot our grand am gt has. Actually my wife and I had a running argument about who win my 91 Rs or her 99 Grand Am. I won of course.
