Hi, the L32 is a blown 3800 GM engine, the L36 is a normally aspirated 3800 GM engine. The 3.8L engines in the Grand National are different from our 3800 engines. You can get performance internals from any of the vendors listed here. If you want to check the engine designation of your Camaro look at the option tag, it's a flat paper decal stuck on the back of the trim panel that covers the spare tire or on the inside of the console compartment. The decal has a list of 3 digit alphanumeric numbers. Look at all the numbers that start with "L" such as L26, L32, L36, etc. You'll eventually want to find this tag because it tells what diff ratio you have, seat options, factory radio, cooling system, trans, etc.
