Hi,
The original Dualjet from the late 1978 Buick V6 of my Pontiac Firebird Esprit is surely dead, and I've been given a nice Quadrajet from an Oldsmobile 403ci V8.
I'm far from being an expert in mechanics, so I don't know if what I want to do is feasible : can I replace the Djet with the Qjet ? With the right intake of course.
If it is possible, what else will I need to do (adjustments? new parts?).
I know the easiest thing to do to increase the power of my Firebird would be to put a V8 in place of the V6 but I don't like when there is no challenge. My goal is to make it more efficient instead of just increasing power. Plus I'm french and it can be quite difficult to replace an engine by a more powerful (legally speaking).
Merci !
