Will it work?

[87T-Type]

Will a 1984 4.1 Turbo motor work in an 87 T-type? Is it possible to use the 87 intake and and everything else with the 84 long block? Just throwing this out there to see. Thanks in advance!

84' turbo 4.1?

You mean 4.1 with turbo crank?

Otherwise, everything just bolts on. Of course with the exception of pistons, oil drain, etc...

I am not sure what it is, here is the listing that was posted.

The easiest way to find out what you have there is to post the block casting number.

Sure it will bolt in. But does it come with an oil pan? 1984 block would be 14 bolt and 87 is 20 bolt.
Is the turbo drain hole drilled?

1984 4.1 Turbo motor with carb adapter?

NOPE. Didnt exist. Someone might have built a 4.1 for a carbed hot-air hoping for a little more power than the 3.8 had, but Buick did not sell a 4.1 turbo V6.
