Steve, Although I know you can get a little more performance from a GN inexpensively, moving further up as you have, doesn't it get pricy? Upon visiting some of the vendors linked to this site, I found that even the AlkyControl is $530 (although it appears state-of-the-art). Is that all that...

Steve, While in high school in the '70's, I was partial to Mustangs, especially the '69-'70 Boss 302 and Boss 429. My first car was a '65 Mustang ragtop, and my second a '70 Mustang (my third a '73 Mustang Mach 1 351 CJ after which I bought a new '83 Mercury Capri RS 5.0/5 speed, triple...

Steve, 1970 was THE PINNACLE year for GOOD-LOOKING, CLASSIC muscle cars. Every American manufacturer had a great looking car (eeks...even AMC). Of course, the years slightly before and after carried many of the body lines and most of the performance. My favorites were the '70 Hemi and 440...

Charlie, I went to the sy/ty tech forum...not much there. Also, it's looking like I will be going with the original EGR intake and injectors, but keeping the non-smog exhaust manifolds and just pluging the intake EGR connection to the exhaust, so thanks for your help on that. I got the...

Charlie, Thanks again for your help. I will check the sy/ty section. I had thought about the turbo sy/ty, but thougth they were totally different, especially since they have water-cooled intercoolers. However, I didn't check this site. Do you mean that even in the Buick 3.8's, that the ECM...

Chalie, Thank you very much for the reply. I was hoping someone such as yourself with more EFI knowledge would answer. As I mentioned, both systems use the exact same 12-pin plug, right down to the same numbers molded in. It is because of this that I thought the older '99 style also has six...

Steve, I was reading a peliminary road test of the new Challenger, Mustang and Camaro, and it seems that, while the Challenger has the most room, it is porky at about 4200#. Even the 426 hp Hemi isn't enough to move it fast. My old '81 Coupe with the '73 303 hp 500 weighed 4220#. My reason...

Steve, Great story, and finely written. Living a good 80 miles from any decent-sized city (Bay City, MI being the closest), there are no GN's around here. Except for car shows like the Frankenmuth Auto Fest, I don't see any GN's or TB's. The last one I saw on the road was on I-75 near Flint...

Hello all on the Turbo Buick board! Looking for info on the Vortec 4.3 on Google, I found a link with threads here. I have a '99 Blazer of my daughters that I am replacing the original engine with one from an '03. There are a few differences, the main one being the '02's up don't have...

TURBOELKY, A friend that has an '86 fastback Monte with a 454 bought an extra one a few years back for $250 as a spare. If anything, I would buy it for myself and see how it holds up. While it doesn't fit a Caddy, it will if you channel the frame. I believe that's what Jeff did on his car...

psiedv6, I don't want to rock the boat here, but isn't $850 high for an 8.5 posi? Locally, I can get one for $250. I had contemplated buying it, but I don't think it will be strong enough for the Caddy 509 going in my '84 Coupe. However, the 8.5 is pretty strong as Jeff Swartz uses one in his...
