You're asking a lot. The SC 3.8 was special built for the supercharger.

You'd be better off taking EVERYTHING from the donar car. You'll also need the computer, all the sensors, wiring harness, exhaust, etc.

It can be done....but quite a time consuming job.
 
The best way to get a SC, is to sell your bird ang get a SC Tbird.
As Gearhead99 said, the entire engine is different, just looks the same outside. If you put a supercharger in a stock N/A car, you will sure blow at least the head gaskets.

There's a how-to article for the tranny swap at www.********* if you want to take a look.

The SC bird also has a different interior, better seats, stiffer suspension springs and sway bars, electrohydraulic shocks, and also the crankshaft and other stuff designed to handle high speeds.

Way too much hazzle and a lot of trouble IMO.
