It depends on what you are looking for. Given that we have the same powerplant as a GP (with the exception of the PCM), there are quite a few performance sites devoted to the 3800 that we can buy parts from. There are links at the bottom the Dash when you first log in...... Please read the threads related to what you are planning on modifying before you dive in. Many of us have real world experience on what not to do to a Riv  | |

| Our plug wires are longer, our exhaust is different, our PCM is different, our Intake setup is different, and if I'm not mistaken, our S/C belt is a different size. That's one of the main reason's this site rocks. Us Riv owners are forced to modify on our own. There is no company that simply sells a "kit" that will properly work with us. ALL of the engine parts will work, as it's identical to a GP (with exception to the PCM and a few mounting differences....). Take a look at many of our members' Signatures. Many of us have listed everything we have done (for examples). There are many, MANY write-ups and threads discussing individual mods that we can't just buy and bolt on. https://rivperformance.editboard.com/series-ii-engine-transmission-f4/ | |
