I'm sorta new to turbo Buick tech, so forgive me if this is a dumb question. I just read an article in Hemmings Rods & Performance that said turbo blocks don't have any more nickel and aren't any stronger than regular 3.8s. It seems the only difference was a threaded hole for the oil from the trubo. They also said a 4.1 V6 was an option (not turbo) for Buicks starting in 1981, and recommended using any 1977-1987 block (even-fire) for performance buildups. Their sources were Jack Merkel and Ron's Custom Automotive Service. Anyone want to confirm, deny, or add to this info?
