Ok so one of the first parts you will need to find is a bell housing from a 97 dodge Dakota 4banger 2.5 with a AX15 5 speed. Don't forget the clutch fork. bolts from the housing to the gear box and the through out bearing and the front cover from the AX15. There will have to be milling to the bell housing. This comes from kiwipushrod on pirate4x4.com. take .250'' off the motor side and .120 off the gearbox side. While your at the machine shop get your input shaft milled down to the I.D. of a GM pilot from a 01 3.8 fire chicken and have them make the pilot bearing longer @ 3/16 . Input shaft is from allstargear.com part # AX15-16A 10 tooth. Now to the flywheel, get one from a 01 3.8 fire chicken. THERE is a difference in balance from N/A to S/C rotating assembly, what you should do is take both flywheel and flex plate to get balanced and have them take the N/A flywheel balanced to the S/C flex plate spec.

Remove the bolt that holds shift selector

Next remove the alen or torks head on the side that hold a spring and ball in it. Tap the rear section off

the 3800 is a fantastic motor with tons of potential. once those things are woken up from their stock form... MAN do they move. Have you though about upgrading that m90 to a tvs 2300?

For what im looking for I wont need to upgrade the charger unless I gain some awesome results in the efficiency. Im guessing the way im set up now I should be @ 285HP close to 300 FT. Im trying to set this truck up for expedition style camping.

Now to get this all together
Remove the big nut with an impact.

That is exactly what it will do for you. The thing that kills the m90 and blowers like it is their lack of efficiency. They have 3 lobes where as the TVS style blowers have 4, they move the same amount of air (if not more) but can do so at a lower RPM thereby reducing parasitic loss and heat that will be generated. I did a very similar swap on my saturn (went from the m62 to a tvs 1320) and noticed huge gains in efficiency and lower iat2's.
