Questions???

Well only maybe one question. How hard would it be to add the supercharger from a supercoupe to my 3.8 88 cougar, if at all possible and by all means tell me if this sounds like a dumbass idea. I want a little more get up and go but dont want to go through the hassle of changing the motor quite yet. :flame:

I think you would grenade your stock 3.8 by adding forced induction. I wouldn't even try it.

I'll take a shot in the dark and say...because the engine isn't made for forced induction? Cast pistons and all that sort of .

Supercharged 3.8 V6s have forged crank, rods, and pistons. They also have a beefed up block and better head gaskets. If you put a SC blower on your stock 88 3.8 it'll go *boom* :flame:

He may already have it.  Most V6 87-88's did.  Mine did.
