Turbo 3.8 engine building books

["Turbo-T"]

Was wondering if there are any good books on the market that I could teach myself on how to assemble a Buick 3.8 litre turbo engine?

I've built a big block Chevy but never a Buick and it's my understanding that building a Buick 3.8 turbo engine is NOTHING like building a big block Chevy.

So yes I have a basic understanding on how an engine goes together, but just want to learn all the fine details on building a Buick 3.8 turbo engine for longevity under boost.

Thanks.

You need the Power Source Book (which I have) & could part with but they arent cheap! Pm me.

I stumbled across this one at a book store and picked it up. I found it to be a pretty good read:

Amazon.com: How to Build Max-Performance Buick Engines (S-A Design) (Performance How-To): Jefferson Bryant: Books

It includes all Buick engines from the nailheads to big blocks to our little V6's..........

There is a copy of the POWER SOURCE on ebay right now.

If you have trouble finding a copy of that one, you can always try and find

a copy of HOW TO HOTROD YOUR BUICK V6. It is a POWER SOURCE with a

different cover, even the bottom of every page says POWER SOURCE, just

like the regular POWER SOURCE books.
