I have two motors and only need one to run this season and would like to sell the other. I have another 4.1 offcenter with new TA heads I am planning another build for next year so the motor I keep to run may also be for sale next spring. Both of these motors are assembled and complete and both have been freshened and are NEW from the machine shop with rings, bearings gaskets etc.
I can post more details and pics but for now here are the basics, contact me directly if you are a serious buyer. I typically like to BS about Buicks but would rather speak to someone who is ready and willing to purchase. I am located in Youngstown Ohio and I am willing to ship but it will be on my time and schedule and your dime to get it crated and shipped.
Stage 2 offcenter 3.8 block-MINT no issues no repairs no sleeves no BS 3.820 bore. Wiesco pistons CR ~9.0:1 Billet Oliver 6.5" rods, BMS 3.4" std/std stroke crank, GN1 heads fully ported 14 bolt with scorpion rockers, No cracks no repairs no issues and they have been run in the 9's with no problems. Ported intake that is matched to the heads included. $10900.
I have all the parts to make this a complete drop in motor. Front cover oil pump assembly with RJC pan and TA pickup for stock style wet sump oiling. I also have a complete cam stack up timing chain and lifters, ATI balancer and JW flexplate and hardware. I can include all this but I am only selling for full price of what I paid since they are all new I will need these parts for the 4.1 motor I am building and would prefer to keep them.
109 Girdled Stroker motor:
109 block Girdled 3.040 bore, Diamond pistons 9.5:1 CR with total seal steel top rings that I waited 4 months to get! K1 rods ARP 2000 bolts, 3.625 stroke crank std/std. Balancer and flexplate are factory Buick pieces that have been machined and neutrally balanced. Heads are 8445 Irons but not your typical ported iron heads and have an extensive amount of work done to them. These are actually one of the nicest pair of iron heads in existence and a little bit of Buick history too, I have owned them on/off a few times over the last 20+ years and at one point had them on a flow bench. While I don't have the original flow numbers from back then I do remember they flowed the same as a ported M&A head at the time. In addition to being extensively ported They have offset valves and run 1.90 int/1.60exh valves with 1.50 diameter springs and come with a custom T&D shaft mount rocker setup. The heads were originally Terry Ryan's who raced TSE back the early 90s against Red A, these heads were purpose built for that class back then when there were no aftermarket heads available.
Fully machined freshened and assembled short block with oil pan, balancer, flexplate along with heads, rockers and fully ported intake $7900.
I have a brand new TA front cover/oil pump assembly, billet roller cam with Weber stack up and Rollmaster timing chain, roller lifters Comp that are not included in that price. I have three motors and only two complete cam setups front covers and oil pumps and will need one for whatever motor I end up running this year and one for the 4.1 I am building. Whichever motor I sell I can include these parts at cost or you can purchase them on your own as most of them are readily available. I do have one extra billet roller cam I can include if the profile fits your needs but you will still need the stack up and timing chain.
I have owned the 109 motor for awhile and built it originally in 2009 or 10. This motor was in my T-type and running up till last Sept when I pulled it to freshen and fix an oil leak and a few other small issues. There was an issue with the block deck surface and I ended up having to tear the entire motor down to re-deck the block. In the meantime I had already bought the 3.8 S2 and decided to build that motor instead but then decided to put the 109 motor back together so I could run THS this year at the Nats. Now we have Covid-19 and no Nats!! So by the end of this weekend I will have all the parts to complete both motors and since we are in lock down I will probably finish putting them both together this weekend.
