And now a completely different Buick turbo powered car!
Here's a couple of pics of a friends 63 (I think) Olds with it looks like a converted Hot Air motor. (yes it has an intercooler) What a sleeper. He already blew the trans and it talking about putting a manual trans in it. Trying to talk him out of it. Don't ask me any tech questions about it as I don't have a clue how he did it or why.
 Haven't seen it in person yet.www.buickgn.com/ed1.jpg www.buickgn.com/ed2.jpg

with the amount of work involved there he probably would have been better off going w/ an 86/7 motor....thats a lot of customization....wow, thats pretty neat actually!!!

I've been wanting to do an LC2 in a 65 Riv for a long time. I'd like to talk to this guy.

How does the song say.. "Is that a Chevy 59?? How bizarre."
I will give anybody credit who will take on doing a hybrid in any car with a TR motor. Just wonder why he didn't go with an 86/7 motor instead. Seems that things would have been a little neater. Still.. there's no expecting what's under the hood of that. Good job.

Guess he had both the vehicle and motor hanging around and decided to put them together.

It's a '63
Olds made their own turbo version of that car waaaay back in 1962/1963. They called it the Jetfire and it had the aluminum 215 Buick V8 with alcohol injection.

That's awesome! Gotta love the initiative. The only thing I don't like is the lack of separation of the ignition wires...could be interference involved.
Mark, does he get any kind of traction with that bad boy? Imagine some ricer's face..."Whoa, he's gotta have like a 454 or somethin in there."
