    Replacement/Rebuild for Drawthrough Turbo

    For a rebuild on an early draw through turbo, try G Pop Shop or Work Turbo. Both have experience with them. The '78-'85 draw through turbos must use special carbon seals.

    Rebuild Part Recommendations

    Yes, there is a difference between turbo cranks and NA cranks. The best advice anyone could give you is to do a lot more searches for answers on this site (especially Before Black) and look for some of the books on building a Buick V6 on Ebay ( Buick Power Source, Buick Free Spirit Power Manual...

    Rebuild Part Recommendations

    That engine only makes 180 HP. A stock rebuild would be fine. If the turbo crank that was in it is in good shape, use it (or get it polished or turned if necessary) along with the stock rods and new pistons. If I was going to splurge anywhere on that engine, it would be on a 206/206 roller cam.

    Carburetor Suggestions for Turbo 231?

    You'll need a Holley carburetor that is boost referenced and a Quadrajet to Holley adapter plate to mount it on the upper intake manifold. You'll have to speak with Holley or a carburetor specialist to get a recommendation and one set up correctly. There is a small raised pad on top of the...

    A/c bracket

    Yours is slightly different. Mine is from an early Jeep engine with a single groove pullies. Also had to use the early style short water pump.

    A/c bracket

    I've got one similar to that. It required using different pullies and sourcing the arm to adjust it.

    Metco Wheel Well Fuel cell tank

    There are some differences to think about. When mounted inside the trunk, there isn't much except the flammable back seat keeping fire out of the passenger compartment. For safety reasons, NHRA rules have long required a firewall of varying thickness (depending on whether it made of aluminum or...

    No. Got lucky and found one through Facebook. Now if I could only get that lucky and find a Champion ported intake. I'm keeping this car hot air.

    80 turbo Carb overflowing?

    I would sure suspect a float issue. Stuck, improperly set or a float that no longer floats. Did you try taking a screwdriver and using the plastic handle end to give some hard taps to the housing to see if that unsticks the floats? A Qjet carb that old ,especially one that's been sitting that...
