Swapping a supercharged 3800 buick 3.8 in a 1980 regal!

[papabearxl]

I have often thought of doing the same thing to my Cutlass Cruiser......for the "wow" factor. I think it would be great, and I am usually a proponent of keeping Ford/Ford, Chevy/Chevy, Olds?olds, but my car came with a Buick 3.8....so it "sort of: fits the category for me...I think it would be a difficult swap, but worth the aggravation...for decent power, mpg, and the "wow" factor.
I say if you are up to do it, and you want to do it, go for it.........but keep us updated!

Just my $0.02........

A little something for you to look at

Yes, he used the FWD block as the basis for a RWD GN turbo motor, but the mounting will be the same if you keep the supercharger.

This thread addresses the throttlebody in the wrong spot.

Ive got the L67 RWD into a Lemans or Cutlass wagon in the future for my next project. Problem is it takes 3 cars that are all worth something. Your in $3500 for parts.
