new motor

Anyone know of a place that I can get a new motor from .Do or can the buick dealers get a replacment motor still if so does anyone know the part number ....

Factory shortblocks have been uavailable for quite some time now. U may once in a while find one on Ebay going for outrageous prices. That money is best spent on properly rebuilding what u have.

Do the research! I second the rebuild what you have. The stock stuff works great! More than likely your crank, rods, block, and maybe even the pistons are all still good. If not, make sure to replace with turbo parts. I personally don't believe in turning a turbo crank more that 10/10, hopefully unless you spun a bearing you can just polish it. You can find everything you need here. Don't be shy to ask questions, it might save you a headache down the road. If your not doing the work yourself, find a turbo buick shop/machine shop to do the work.
