I don't know if anyone specifically makes a s/c for the 4.3L v6, but due to the similarities with the 5.7L v8, a v8 centrifugal s/c should be able to be underdriven for use on the 4.3L. I would start by contacting ProCharger, PowerDyne, and/or Paxton. Both are manufacturers of belt driven centrifugal superchargers that should be fairly easy to adapt to the 4.3L v6. Some fab work may be necessary for brackets, etc.

*EDIT* - Ha... Well, I guess I was wrong... Here's Powerdyne's direct fit centrifugal application for the 4.3L v6: Powerdyne K10525-101 - $3800

The others do not show applications for the 4.3L v6, but I'm sure that they could point you in the right direction.

I don't recall what year model it comes from, but the Pontiac Grand Prix GT was based on a 4.3 platform with a supercharger...it's supposed to bolt right up. If you don't wanna break the bank, it might be worth looking in to.

Grand Prix GTP... Nothing in the 3800 S/C will bolt up to the 4.3L and there is nothing in common between the 3800 and the 4.3L. The 4.3L is based off of the 350 (less 2 cylinders) while the 3800 is based off of the buick 3.8L v6. IIRC, both the 3800 and the 4.3L are 90* v6s, but the bore centers are not at all the same so that right there throws a lot of stuff out the window. Now if you were to have a custom lower intake manifold fabbed up, you can make anything fit. BTW, my summer time DD is a Bonneville SSEi 3800 S/C.
