Any unique engine swaps?

It fit like GM should have made it that way, even the turbo location was dead on and no issues putting on stock hoses and the wiring swapped over with little to no issue, only 1 hole to cut for a pass through

A loooong time ago, I was building a 95 S-10 on air ride, and collecting the parts for a motor swap. 1974? Buick 4.1L, with fuel injection setup from an 84 3.8L. 1986 engine accessory bracket to convert it all to FWD serpentine, and an electric fan. Here's where it got goofy. WC T-5 trans from a Mustang, flywheel from a Monza, I forget which bellhousing we were using. A friend of mine was going to cobble the clutch together.
Turbonetics T3/T4 hybrid turbo, and GN exhaust manifolds.

But alas, divorce is expensive.

This is my oddball engine in the making. A 2000 3800 series two with 96 comaro rear wheel drive parts. I am invested in the idea, but still kind of a pipe dream I guess. The car has probably one of the oddest engines available in a 80 g body all ready. A 3.8 Buick draw through turbo engine. Problem is it lacks in the performance part.

I have an 83 Regal with a 455. Yes 455 meaning Buick out of a 73 Riv with a 400 bolted up to it, but may change it for the 200r4 OD

You best beef that 200r4 up if you go that route. Stock a 455 will rip up a stock 200r4.

FItech might be useful if your intake is 4 Barrell. You cold probably run boost straight into this thing. 4 barrel intake from a 4.1 might flow better than a blow-thru.

I still miss the Olds 350 running the stock sbc TBI in my burned to the ground 94 Chevy 4x4. The Northstar and the little 3.4 Taurus SHO V8's were something different but both had issues. To bad Cadillac's new V-8 was scrapped, probably would have been killer. Compare the Ford 5.0 to the new 5.3, sorry the DOHC platform just makes more power. As far as G bodies, I keep mine SBO powered and mine will be powered by a 403 stroker eventually.

Of course my other non G body swap is project nightmare, the 3.9 Magnum V6 to a 5.9 Magnum V8 , the easiest swap in the world, yah right, hence the name project nightmare.

How about a G-body with a ~2002 vintage Northstar V8 installed? I haven't seen this but wonder if it has been done?

Look up back issues of hot rod magazine.....there was a n* swapped 84 in an issue 2000ish

Goofiest swap I had a hand in was on a buddy's farm in hs we 327 swapped an 84 chevette. What made it unique was we went to the trouble of building a second chevette he had on the farm to look identical only we just fixed the tiny four banger running. Was our way of shocking people lol

That looks like a series 3 3800 with a series 2 fwd upper intake in the pic

That engine is out of a 2000 buick with 20000 miles on it. Series two and series three are almost the same and everything interchanges. Series one is its own.
