Found a used B.O.P. GBody Aluminum Bell Housing local to me. Needed it to be able to check /adjust crankshaft alignment to transmission input shaft misalignment after align honing my rebuilt 3.8L turbo V6 in my automatic transmissioned Buick Grand National.
Needless to say a dial gauge showed I...
Here’s what I presently have installed. Bought these many years ago before Dennis Kirban sold his business to Paul Castle.
Was hoping to tighten up things by a welded together (1piece) brace vs 3 separate pieces bolted together to the frame...
Thanks,
I figured he must have shut things down .
Unfortunately both the UMI & BMR triangular frame brace will not fit but recall reading SC&C’s design will clear the Buick GN’s factory intercooler
Looking for an SC&C front triangular frame brace for my Grand National.
