cobrashoch, you are right this is a very well thoughtout and thorough engine. There have been a couple of variations of the 3800 (L36) engine. The only RWD US application for it was the 95 thru 98 camaro and firebird with the series 1 config, and 99 on was the better series 2. There were no supercharged (L67) applications for the rwd. No one has put the L67 into an F body cause it won't fit under the firewall. The rwd L36 has the air intake in the front. The L67 and FWD L36 have it on the rear. In a kit car the engine fits, but the issue then is the trans. The problem with the standard camaro setup due to the T5 sitting at a 30 degree angle. Makes mounting the shifter a *****. There is an option. Either engine FWD L36 or L67 or the RWD L36 will accept a bellhousing from a 94-95 2.2L S10 pickup. This mounts the trans straight and allows the use of a 90-93 only Mustang T5. Have a Lotus super 7 clone ( www.stalkerv6.com) going up now with this. These sites might help.
