just a question

[jadams]

could you use a 4.3 motor in these cars . would the crank and piston all that stuff work or would it just blow up under boost . or would it be to much money and be pointless to do it. just woundering.

thanks

waste of time.the 4.3 is a pos compared to the 3.8 buick.if you want bigger build a 4.1.

later,sean

Your 3.8 will run when we are done with it, now leave dads mini van be and stay off his 4.3.

Crazygn you're right! Besides, the 3.8 block will do ample for your racing needs. Besides, id stick with the buick motor to keep the proud buick name. 4.3 is a chevy motor is it not? The HP difference between the turbo 3.8 and the turbo 4.3 are not much different. As you probably already know, the cyclone's and typhoons use those motors with a liquid to air intercooler and a mitsu turbo. I think they were like 275 ponies, correct me if im wrong. they are really impressive numbers. However the 3.8 would walk all over those numbers with tuning alone, and the good ol air to air intercooler. I think the nice thing about the 4.3 block is that you can run a 700R4 tranny on it. I probably sound like a school text book so i will shut up now! Anyone feel free to correct me if im wrong

the 200 is a much better tranny IMHO. but sy/tys ran a 700 because of the transfercase. Which we dont use. at least I hope nobody has a 4x4 Turbo Regal.
