4.1 v6 to buick 350 build (about time) lol

OHH by the way I picked up some 70 heads from a jeep wagooner 🙂 in the shop as we speak!

Hopefully I will have a set of headers prototyped and in production by then

Mel told me about this. Im would grab some headers right away. Let me know how the progress is doing.

Couple things, it is worth getting a set of hooker part number 1103hkr. My intent was to take the headers which I purchased new and dice and cut them up for prototype use. The damn things fit like a glove.....No sense making what already fits so get these when you put the headers on. Put them on after the engine is in the car. Follow my thread about the fitment. It is much easier if you get the mini starter from gbody parts for 119$ it makes the starter much less in the range of the header. As for the AC i am with you I am keeping mine as well, and the Cruise. I have so many look in the engine bay and say, you have cruise and ac!!!!??? It's funny. You need to get the accessories from the 3.8 to bolt right up.

Do yourself a favor and spend the money to get those 70 heads ported and larger valves. I wish i would have done it. I am puling serious torque and decent HP, I bet I would be at nearly 400hp if I had the heads performance done.

Nice tip on the headers!

I always wondered if they would fit. This is gonna be a big help.

Any thought on selling the 4.1 that came out of there?

The 4.1 will be up for sale more likely than not. Still in great shape runs like new just a tad over 80k now and has been maintaned ever since its been in my hands.

Well do let me know once you decide to sell it. I'd be interested for sure.

I am interested in your 4.1 V6. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada and looking for a rebuildable engine for my 84 Regal T-type. Do you have the block casting #? Will pay top $$ for the right engine.

updates

Well no updates on the car or engine really. Been having to work a sh*t load of hours to save up to get into a house with a garage to do things the right way. Hopefully Ill hear back tomorow and Ill have the house .. So for now just doing simple things like fixing wire harness issues. The choke/oil dummy lit up ended up being bare wires going to the oil sending plug which blew a fuse...Fixed that issue.. Then the engine light came on after a lot of scratching my head it was the O2 sensor being unplugged. All of these issues after getting my engine refreshed...too hot to do anything in PHX without a garage so just been buying things here and there for this winter when I have a place to have the homie Mel come over and start tearing things apart. Anyways no real updates besides I just scored some NOS hubcap centers since I decided to go sleeper.
