I think the area at the bootom where it flows into the manifold is shaped slightly different than the newer M62. Also I beleive that the bolt holes might not line up. I do not have any proof either way on that stuff as it was all just bits I recall others saying. I am sorry I know this may not be much help but it is the stuff I would look into if I were you.

I don't think its the same footprint, and the throttlebody area might be a concern for clearances too.... beyond that the older m62 is a good bit less efficient than the newer ones that come with the kits.

no you cant the mounting is different , the LSJ only has 4 mounting points , the series 1 3800 uses 6 or more , plus the base pattern is alot different , by-pass , pcv , smaller pulley , less effecient s/c

series 1 s/c
