Whats required to put a 3.8 into my 96 Cavy?

The motor in my 96 Cavalier went out. Had the stock 2.2L in it. I want to upgrade. If i have to spend the money to get a new motor, might as well upgrade the horsepower. I would like to see the 3.8L supercharged dropped into it. What would I have to do to make this a reality?

You'll need mounts. Raven knows for sure what you need (you probably have to make them though). If you intend on using a 5spd tranny, you'll have to get a flywheel from a 3.8L F-body. Then have it machined down to the thickness of the 2.2's flywheel. I believe it's also a good idea to go and have that flywheel balanced to the L67.

There's info around here about it. Just search around for a while.
