Looks like someone tried to clean up old bores and mains and slapped new bearings and rings in everything hoping it would work. All of that needs to go to a machine shop and gone through completely. Looks like the crank was dancing around in the main bearing.

That will save you time in the long run and it keeps the downtime to a minimum. Now decide on a hp goal. If you have never had a 700hp car build the motor and spec a turbo for it and use some self control to run at low boost levels and they you can turn it up to where you want it. Decide...

Well there are different levels of rocket ship and that is what you must decide upon first. A horsepower goal will determine the parts you need to build the motor you want. If you need help with that, hit me up or a bunch of others who can steer you in the right direction.

Yeah what is the status on this? Still looking for a donate button.....

Sorry to see you go Chuck. You have always been a great help to me and many others here in Buick land. Enjoy and take care of yourself.

The Turbo TA used 3800 heads on a 3.8 block from the factory.

You can make 600hp on ported iron heads but V6Sleeper is right, the Buick heads were not the same ones on the TA. I would bolt a bare block and heads together to use as a mock up for the engine bay so you know everything fits ok. As for power goals, 600 on ported iron heads is no problem...

For what you are tryin to do based on those pics and that turbo you need both. Match your pump and injector sizing to the hp capability of the turbo. You can use the ECU GN or you can run an MS3 plug n play to run that combo. Auto tune will be your good friend. I would suggest a coil on plug...

They can do the three bolt exhaust housings to fit the Buick. The last 58/58 I bought from them I had them use the stock exhaust housing. They were having a hard time finding those to build them. 4 bolts are no problem.

A Comp 58/58 is good to 550 hp. You have all the parts there for it but you will need alky to make the power without burning head gaskets
