Starting a build on my former 454 powered Turbo Sport Coupe. Engine that is going in will be a 1971 455 Stage 1 out of my 1969 GS Cali. I blew up the 4 speed & sold off the conversion parts to get $$$ to do this swap.
So far I have managed to get the engine bolted into the chassis and will be moving forward to bolt in the TH400 next. To start with the project is going to be N/A 455 powered. BUT I do have a turbo set up for an '87 GN that I could do a blow thru intercooled set up. In talking with the guys on V8Buick, my Stage 1 with 5lbs of boost would be in excess of 600 hp. Way too much for a stock rear & stock bottom end.
Anyway, I'll do some pic's of where I'm at now. Thanks to JD for getting me some needed parts.
