Buick 3.8 swap questions....
OK, Im planning a 3.8 Turbo swap for my T/A and am basically just looking for more info about it if anyone has any! I know you have to use shorter heads for the swap to clear the A/C. I do live in Oregon, so Im undecided about wether or not Im going to leave that on, or use a mid-late 80s FWD Pontiac's heads.
Does anyone know of sites dealing with aftermarket parts/modifications for the motor, or any sites with details about the Swap?
