Im new to this site and have been reading some of the other posts and i'm hooked. I own a 87 Regal w/ttops in good condition but it lacks the 3.8 turbo engine. I saw an ad in the paper for a 87 gn convertible that needed some work. I went out to see the car and it needed major work to the body.The guy wanted $2500 for it but I told him it was only good for a parts car so he went down to $1500. The gn turned out to be a 84 t type, but the engine had all the signs of being out of an 86 or 87 buick, sfi intercooler #of bolts on oil pan. The car odometer reads 99500 .
I purchased the car since I taught it was a good deal since it had a good front clip,doors,and trunk lid and the engine sounds fine. The only downside is the top was hacked off. I want to transplant the turbo engine into my Regal but I need some advise on what to look for when rebuilding the engine. Should I rebuild to stock specs? Overbore? Please help.
