finding parts

I know this question has been asked on this board before so hopefully the few guys that have them will share whatever info they have.i'm thinking of getting the parts required for the 3.8 turbo swap.my question is who knows what is still available from gm(headers/ecm/harness/mounts,etc.)the other question is do the 4th gen headers made for the 3800 series fit the 80's 3.8?it seems it would be a little easier to bolt the pass. side one on and modify the driver's side for the turbo.any of you anniversary guys know if someone reproduces the tta headers?thanx

Sorry can't help you with specifics but I read a while back in Car Craft about this. Pretty much nothin' is still availible, and to make it even tougher the Buick Turbo v6 doesn't use some of the same parts. The F-bod engine bay is tighter so they use different manifolds and I think differant heads too. This swap can be done but it is far from easy.
