Are there any CCC friendly cams I can use made by the aftermarket? I'm wanting to keep the CCC system as I'm only looking to make a little bit more power from stock. What I'm thinking of doing is getting a 252 long block and if I can find a CCC friendly cam, put it in and use the 4.1 intake I...

i am once again revisiting the idea of hopping up a 3.8 sans turbo and i'm considering doing a little port and polish on the heads. i have a 4.1 intake i'm currently porting and polishing but i know the heads should be worked also for improved breathing. my goal realistically is to have a...

on the off chance i stick with a V6 over a buick 350 i have some questions about the 4.1 intake. how well would the engine run without the EGR? i figure hot gases are only warming the incoming air and not helping the performance at all. personally i dont care either way but i thought i...

http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/parts-sale/322923-4-1-intake-sale.html i have pics of the intake i need to upload which will be shortly.

i have a 4.1 intake for sale. it's been painted black and comes with the air cleaner (taken down to bare metal primed and painted a semi flat black), throttle cable bracket with bolts, thermostat housing, carb bolts, EGR (very low miles on it if you need to be smog legal) with bolts. it also...

are the 252 CID blocks different from the 231's or are they just bored out a little larger? i'm asking because i'm considering building a N/A engine and if the extra cubes help then great, i want to go with a 252 instead but if i can just bore out a 231 then i wont worry about trying to find...

pic of an unusual LT1 turbo set up i dont know if anyone has seen this before but i thought it was worth posting. no muffler in the exhaust system. the turbo replaces it! very unusual but seems kinda cool.

i originally posted this in non sfi, n/a tech section but got no responses so i'll post it here since most people go here. hopefully i'll have better luck. i dont knows if this belongs here or not but i have a n/a buick engine so i thought i'd post this here since it is a non SFI...

i dont knows if this belongs here or not but i have a n/a buick engine so i thought i'd post this here since it is a non SFI post. for those who even care i have a 85 GP with a 3.8. its the original engine with 140,000+ miles on it and to be honest, even though its not powerful it still...

this past weekend i went and looked at models. this is the first time i looked at models since i was a teenager and to be honest i wasnt very impressed by what they offer now. revell ACTUALLY has a "3 in 1" model of a 81 citation. they had other equally unimpressive models but i found a GN...

i made a post months ago about my carb (holley rebuilt dualjet) and the problem i had about it idling too fast (hot, cold, whenever) around 900-1000 RPM. i believe its the isc motor. the problem im having is this: no matter if the engine is hot or cold it always does this BUT sometimes it...

ok so i'm a buick V6 nut. for some reason i like the n/a buick V6 and i'm thinking of building one up in the future for a mild application about 250-300 HP with EFI (like TBI) and i'm wondering what i have to do to achieve that with a n/a engine. if i want 9:1 compression do i have to get...

i raised the fast idle again (how i can adjust it to 1500 RPM and then readjust it back up to 1500 RPM is beyond me!) and it no longer acts like it has a huge miss when i first drive the car, one problem solved. it doesnt surge as much as it use to, i barely notice it at all, problem somewhat...

not too long ago i put on some moroso blue max wires and noticed an increase in power, "wow, this engine is running pretty well" (i also had a miss and i'm sure that was part of the problem) a couple of weeks after that i put on a newly rebuilt carb "wow this thing is running nice and smooth...

car: 1985 Grand Prix engine: 231 C.I. N/A Buick V6 tranny: pre 81 TH-350 present gear: 2.41 one legger ok so my daily driver has a very weak gear and since i put this tranny in its been even slower off the line (i previously had a th-200 metric POS) and i need a real gear, not this...

i keep seeing codes being mentioned about the 200-4r tranny and i was wondering what codes on the case i should look for and where i should look to find them. i want to put a 200-4r in the next g-body i get and i'm wondering what codes to look for and what codes to avoid. it doesnt have to be...

the 4.1 i have is a rebuild motor and on the left valve cover, stamped into it is "149", what does that mean???? its been bugging me for awhile and i have to know what its all about! did they not put on the right valve covers or what?

well this is it. in the next week or two (hopefully next weekend, i didnt have time to plan it for this weekend) i will have the 4.1 intake/carb put on the 3.8. the dualjet has given me a headache for the last time. i fought with this thing for like 3 hours today and i've had it. its like...

my 85 GP has a 3.8 with 130,000+ miles on it. i just got back inside from doing some exploratory surgery on the engine and something interesting had put me into a rage. 1.) i have a broken bolt on the left side. its the bolt closest to the middle of the engine that goes through the bracket...

i have a 4.1 and a 3.8 and i am seriously contemplating putting the 4.1 4 bbl intake on the 3.8 but is it REALLY worth it? the difference between the two engines is only 15 HP. to some of you thats no big deal but to a 110 HP 3.8 thats quite a jump, but, they have different bores so im...
