    79 Firebird Project - GN drivetrain swap

    Wow, thanks for the great input guys. I didn't come back earlier because I bought a 1984 Trans Am HO 5 speed last year and she's the one I've been busy working on since then. I'm keeping the engine stock, 240hp is well enough for my use. I hope to find a good running engine and...

    79 Firebird Project - GN drivetrain swap

    Hello guys, Since my '79 Firebird project is going on the long run, with a lot of metal work involved, I want to make it the way I want. So my plan is to swap the N/A 3.8L V6/TH350/2.56 non-posi for a complete 86-87 GN drivetrain. I have the Turbo hood, the Turbo wheels will come. The...

    A little 80' Regal from France

    Salut JFKEn, c'est raptor3388 du forum-auto ^^ Yeah, there ain't not much info about late 70's and early 80's Buick V6 cars on the web. Here are the ones I found to have interesting info : Before Black.net Buick V6 motor tuning article Buick V6 "even-fire" in a Porsche 914 GN T-Type.org

    Quadrajet carburetor on a 231ci V6

    I want to restore it to its original condition, with some slight modifications on the engine. I'm not planning to drag race but I know this engine is capable of good things with not much modifications, especially the "even fire" hi port heads versions. Having 105hp with a 3.8L V6 for a 2 tons...

    Quadrajet carburetor on a 231ci V6

    Hi, I don't know why I hadn't seen your post :confused: Anyway, I'm interested of course but is this a Dualjet 210 with the "D" shaped air filter base or the older rounded one ? Do you have an idea of the shipping costs ? Thanks !

    I've just checked the casting numbers on the heads, it's 81262098. According to this page it's a 79 head :cool:

    Quadrajet carburetor on a 231ci V6

    Hi Charlief. Good to hear someone who tried it ! Actuallly, my Firebird is a 1979 model but it was built on the first week of November of 1978. Does it change anything ? How can I recognize hi port heads ? Here are pictures of my engine, yeah it's dirty as hell !

    Quadrajet carburetor on a 231ci V6

    That's what I thought at the beginning :o The Dualjet is a 210. Thanks for your answers. I think I'll stick with the Dualjet for the moment, and see if I can find find a new lower throttle body or a complete carburator.

    Quadrajet carburetor on a 231ci V6

    Well, I have to admit that I didn't know it was so complicated to adjust a carburetor... Anyway, here are the numbers I found on the carb : 17058274 2107 BAP 17053753 There is also this round thing that shows the date it's been built...there are nine dots so I guess it means September but...

    Quadrajet carburetor on a 231ci V6

    Allright, that's what I feared. So the QJet, even if ajusted properly would make the engine run too rich ? The problem with the Dualjet is that the car stayed outside without a hood for about six months. The carb was full of water, and it was totally stuck. Even with plenty of WD40, the rod...

    Quadrajet carburetor on a 231ci V6

    Hey thanks for your reply I do have a 3.8L V6 (231ci), the base engine for the base Firebird and Firebird Esprit models at the time. I'm not sure my motor is "even-fire" as the car was built in October or November 1978. I've seen Edelbrock intakes but they say that it won't work for...

    Quadrajet carburetor on a 231ci V6

    Hi, The original Dualjet from the late 1978 Buick V6 of my Pontiac Firebird Esprit is surely dead, and I've been given a nice Quadrajet from an Oldsmobile 403ci V8. I'm far from being an expert in mechanics, so I don't know if what I want to do is feasible : can I replace the Djet with the...
