Always have liked the little H-Body cars, especially the Buicks! Those builds will be awesome when you guys get done!
Thank you Carl... Amir.... Sounds like you've been around doing some neat stuff back in the day when it was realy hopp'n. I sure wish I was born earlier to have been in such a neat time. I commend you for looking into a newer engine for your car. I think more guys are doing the same as the wall is starting to tumble down as EFI get's more affordable and understandable. The Buick engine that came in the 86/7 Buick GN is very versital and is capible of making very dependable power along with excellent street driveability and best of all MPG! It's tough to find all that in one package. They can be found in the classified section on this board for 1500-2500ish depending on mileage/mods/completeness of setup. The newer LS1 base engines are another great leap in performance with good mileage. Carl's engine bay will be very similar to mine when it is all complete. All wires hidden,pipes painted and ran in a manor that's easy to work on and cosmeticly appealing at the same time. There's alot of thought that go's into doing a hybrid. Takes some time and effort but the results are worth it! Pic's of my car below. It's my daily driver in the summer and get's 20mpg. Runs on regular 93oct with no meth/alky. I will get 9.90's out of it in the spring for sure! E-mail me if you have any questions be glad to answer them. ~Scott
Just telling the truth, Scott. You are a very talented man. Every time I see your car it looks better and better!
Thank you... If you'd like more pictures of the Camaro I'll be glad to e-mail them to you. This thread isn't about my car I'll be posting some more pic's of Carl's Sky Hawk next week when it go's back on the hoist for final hook up. All the accrys are on it now including A/C. Throttle body ect. I realy think the radials that are on the rear of the car are going to not last very long! ~Scott
StartUp Video and inside shot. I'll post final pic's.... My last Turbo Buick Hybrid. Thanks to Carl for his Patience and Grace. ~Scott
Very nice camaro. I saw one go 296 mph at Bonneville with a Stage II in 2003. Amir, all GN engines were even fire, not odd fire. The odd fires vibrate and shake a lot. There were some stage II odd fire engines, but they were mainly race engines used, I think, in Nascar (not sure) and maybe road race GTP cars and Indy cars. Don't take my word on how they were used, but they did exist.
