NICE!!!
Hey Dave who did the block?
The short block is stock except for arp rod bolts and head studs. We disassembled the motor cleaned everything and opened up the ring gaps to .028. Again this is a $250 junkyard motor.

It's nice being able to call Summit or go to the local auto parts store for supplies, they are cheep and reliable too!
This is a beautiful intake. Looks so clean and new, lol. Any idea what the heads are going to flow with this intake bolted on vs the stock?
Here is a link to the head flow info.

Awesome man... this seams to be the way to go anymore..Im kinda glad i never bought a buick with the 3.8/109, heard way to many horror stories. Urs being the worse for sure.If i remember correctly not even 500miles on it and it took a crap. Make sure you got the video camera when you fire this monster up!!!
Thanks! It looks right at home in there.
I have been down the 109 and stage 2 road, this is the way to go! Price and availabilty of parts is second to none. When built by the proper engine builder or used in stock form it is a very reliable piece. 1000+ HP with a stock shortblock...priceless.
Yeah cant beat that.. Id like to own a GN, but itll be a stocker for sure.. Have something like this to take to the strip and beat on... Did you say wat turbo your going to be running?? Cant get enough of this thread!!! Looking good
Nice! What motor mounts are u using?
BRP hot rods solid motor mounts.
We are setting it up for E85. Weldon 2035 fuel pump with 8 160 lb injectors, Twin 70's no intercooler.
