Can a 1998 Pontiac GTP series II 3.8 supercharged engine fit into a 1995 Ford Thunderbird?
otherwise what engines besides that or the newest year they make of the v8 for a thunderbird that would fit into a 95'

With enough money and time, any engine can fit into anything.

As far as a bolt in swap, the answer is no.

As to the V8, you'd need a short ton of components from the donor vehicle (PCM, wiring harness, possible fuel pump/fuel system, bell housing, etc) to make it prohibitively difficult.

the pontiac way would prolly be pretty hard too... being that you would need a trans for a rwd car... and if you did find one .. the thermostat would be facing backwards.. and theres a list of other things that would be a PITA... but anything is possible...

you would be better to find a 5.0 out of a merc grand marquis or crown vic.. or a f150.. or even a 4.6 out of merc or crown vic.. but either way still going to be a good size job

why dont you find a 3.8L supercharged out of a tbird or a Cougar? that would be the best bet for a supercharged v6 fitting in

any ford, lincoln or mercury with the 4.6 v8 and even some of the expeditions have the 4.6, just take a look at you local picapart or junkyard.
I have seen literally hundreds of these motors out there and they are all the same.
Also if you want more motor you can try the 5.4 triton from an expedition.

Well if you watch Power Block on the weekends, Horsepower dropped a big block Ford into one, think it was a 460 block. So guess it would fit. You could probably look it up online. It was called project Deep Sleep.
