I'm gathering information about bolt patterns used on the bell housing and transmission... Buick has 2 standard V-6 bolt patterns that I'm aware of, the front wheel drive and the rear wheel drive pattern. Is the GN motor buicks standard rear wheel drive bolt pattern? If it is, or...

The Manual Thanks for the offer Chris, a month ago I'd probably have taken you up on the offer. But now I just bought a GN motor and I'm a bit broke. So maybe I can find an e-bay deal. I found out about the book from the other GN site that I won't mention here. And they thought it went for...

Does anyone know where I can get a Buick Power Source Manual? I see quite a few references to the book, but I can't find a line on ordering one at the moment. -J

Does anyone have dimensions and/or weight of one of these engines. Anything close will do, I'm looking to have one of these motors shipped and need to get an idea. Thanks, -J

Hot air Turbo's I just purchased a hot air engine (That I don't have yet.) so pardon my ignorance on this... But what is so difficult about adding an intercooler or after market turbo to these hot air cars? I know that the turbo bolts right to the throttle body and intake manifold. And I...

3000 stall? I'm new to Grand Nationals, but if your going to drive this everyday the 3000 stall sure sounds like its going to be a mess the first time it rains. (Or snows.) What might work in California 300 days a year could be a nightmare in Michigan for the next 6 months. Someone correct...

I was hoping to possibly find someone in the Kansas City Area that might have an engine crate that would fit a complete GN motor. I realize this is pretty far fetched. So is anyone in the area that might be able to give me some advise on purchasing a crate? (I'm in Phoenix but having an...

The car The car will be a tube frame and a few pieces of square stock. It will be built from scratch but using factory parts for Drive train, A Arms, and steering linkage. The inital plan was to run an engine cradle with a GM 3800 series 2 motor and an Audi 5000 tranaxle (Using a transmission...

Differences? I can see that the intercooler is definately going to show a big difference in power. What other limitations am I going to run into? I would obviously like to have the 20 bolt block, but for the price I'm getting this block for I don't think I'm going to pass it up just yet. Is...

Thanks! Great Info, thanks.

84-85 Looks like its a Hot Air motor. I was just looking at pics of an 84 and the motor looks identical. Fuel injection on these motors started in 84 right?

I live in AZ so I know the emissions laws will vary some, but could you clarify the way the emissions restrictions are decided? I'm building a vehicle from scratch. But the way AZ law is written, because the vehicle will be largely constructed of manufactured parts it will be considered a...

I need some advice. I just purchased a Grand National motor out of a wrecked GN with 85,000 miles on it. Its a turbo charged SEFI motor and doesn't look to be a place for an intercooler to connect. So I'm assuming its an 84-86 engine. I bougt it off of e-bay and I'm trying to get VIN/Serial...
