Idk how similar they are in this regard, but a bbf 460 seal fits in a Buick 350. I wonder if one would fit a 3.8...

I was wondering about that. BBO use the same one.

So much fun doing rear main seals.... not seems like the oil leak is fixed after letting everything cure overnight. However it has now decided to puke antifreeze out of the heater core. Oh well better now than later. New core will be here tomorrow.

Let's see an underhood shot now that it's completely assembled. The only one I saw was after it was back in, but before it was complete and running.

At least the problems are showing up now...

Give me a few I’ll get a couple. I still have a few loose ends to finish up on the vacuum lines and now the heater core 😂

It’s still a work in progress but very presentable. Still several things I want to address under here. I have some pretty decent sized wire loom at work and am thinking about covering majority of the long sections in it instead of having hoses everywhere. I also like the extra room I have since I don’t have the smog pump installed. Also looking at hood pad options there is a vendor that offers different designs in the turbo Buick community and I’m thinking about getting a Buick motorsports one with the power 6.
