4.1 upgrade

[v2vera]

Ok guys after debating and debating whether to pay for a swap to a 350 Ive decided against it. The engine is running perfect. My question is..Is there anything I can do to up the HP? according to what I have ready it makes about 125 now.. What can I do to get it to at least 175-200? What upgrades can i do to this engine at all? and what gains will i get?

Some headwork and headers you might get 150. These buick motors are guttless unless you boost them. THere was a guy on another forum that had a built 3.8 with 9.5-1 compression and his car didn't run any faster than a mid 15. So you have two choices, pull the motor and put in a 455, or pull the motor and put in turbo pistons and put a draw thru setup on. Too bad you aren't closer, I'd buy that motor off you when you decide to let it go. I wonder how much shipping would be????

If I lived in Tucson, I would get a project car and leave this one alone. Maybe some nice rims on this one and cruise it on the weekends.. 😀

Carb,play with timing, intake,cam headers,and if you did a light port job on the n
heads. i think you will have no prob getting 175 hp, get it done.
