Well in that case :p Just kidding. You still took a load off my mind regardless of how much work was involved. Thanks for stepping up.

Big thanks to Mike for making sure this thing got done. Sorry for sticking you with the heavy lifting. Next time I set something up I'll cover your entry fee to make it up to you.

Letting everyone know that the event is on and the weather will be hot, but clear. There's a good chance that I won't be in attendence though. Had a bit of an accident today and I'm supposed to be off my feet for the next 24-48 hours. I'm going to do my best to swing by and see how the turnout...

I updated the NED thread with the info about the Inaugural Buick Bash.

Figured I'd take the pressure off Mike and jump on here to answer any questions about the event. I'm the orginizer, for better or worse, so I can hopefully help you guys with any info that you need. I told Mike already but I'll pass it along. It's an event open to any Buick regardless of...

Sounds like the issue we've had here with the Toronado. Car stumbled and died and wouldn't refire. After getting it towed home it would start, run really rough, then die again. First time it happened it was a clogged fuel filter. No codes thrown. The tow home managed to shake the clog...

Well I got the idea from hearing that an L67 blower can be swapped onto the "pre-series 1" motor with nothing more than accesories and programming. Considering the LN3 isn't forged or anything I'd probably want to keep the boost level pretty low which means the early blower would move plenty of...

Is it possible to add a series 1 supercharger to an LN3 motor? What exactly will be needed other than the supercharger, accs. and pcm? Also who does pcm programming for this kind of build? I can't do a full on motor swap so I need to work with the engine that's already in the car

Has anyone swapped a LC2 or LD5 in place of an LN3? I figure it's swapping a 3.8 for a 3.8 so it shouldn't be a huge fabbing nightmare project. Just not sure if the mounting points are different between the rwd version and the fwd version. Plus I'd need some insight on any other differences that...

I'll throw in the rims for an additional $100. They're already mounted and everything :wink:

They're General brand, Ameri*G4S. size is 205/65-r15. They still have quite a bit of tread left on them. I'd say they have more than half their lifespan left to go. One tire has a small finishing nail in it so there's a very slow leak. That will get patched when the tires are taken off the rims...

From what I've seen you guys also need calipers and upper control arms and some other misc stuff. I'll hold onto this setup until I strip the rest of those things and then relist it as a complete bolt ot setup.

Trade ya for some old z28 rims :biggrin:

Check into the b-body brake upgrade for the a-body and f-body crowd and you'll see what's involved and whats needed. This setup is the older 11" brakes instead of the newer 12" brakes. The 11" ones should fit behind stock 15" wheels with no problems and also have the correct bolt pattern already.

I don't know exactly what other parts you g-body guys need to pull off the swap. If there are other parts needed then let me know and I'll hold onto this stuff until I strip those parts off too. I'd like to see someone pull off a nice upgrade as easy and cheap as possible. That's why I'm not...
