Supercharged 3800

Just checked on that...Crank is the same both non S/C and S/C, rods are different and more expensive !!, pistons for obvious reasons, and heads....but on saying that the later 3.8's (VR) are not known for problems...seen a couple with run B/E's and also with run Cam bearings, but am told this is an issue with poor quality oils, so guess a mild boost would be fine...the VS engines actually have shorter rods, which should be worse for side thrust on pistons hence more friction, maybe making the earlier engine more suitable, also a point worth remembering is the late engine is about 20mm shorter in deck height, so the late blower won't fit an early engine I shouldn't think

Cheers 

Grant
