Quick Question....

Post by Raviaan »

Can I use the BLOCK from a Series 3 engine, and swap my heads and supercharger onto it?

The short answer is yes but why would you swap if you had an L32, the gen-v super charger is much more efficient?

Sorry I should have been more specefic... the S3 is non supercharged. I am getting some lower end noise in my current engine, I can get this engine with 37k miles on it for 400 from a friend.
