You'd better
and
again!!
There are more than a few guys here running turbo Buick engines. Hopefully I will be one soon as well!!
Also search the V6 forum. It has lots of different crazy ideas there as well.
Good luck on your endeavors and let us know when you have a third gen and a Buick V6 in the same garage bay. We will be more than happy to help you through the process!!

Re: Buick LD5
And, just to clarify, a Buick V6 will fit quite easily under the hood. The easiest way is to use a rear wheel drive engine with vin code C front wheel drive heads from 1987 to 1990, a 700R4 V8 transmission with an adapter and drill a couple of new holes in the front crossmember to use the Buick Regal rear wheel drive motor mounts.

Re: Buick LD5
Look up TA Performance, Poston Enterprises, and even Ken Bell and Ken Duttweiler have some stuff around...
TA and Poston are my current favorites as far as parts go. TA even has aluminum blocks and heads available.
