!!!!!!! Found a 87 GN motor!!!!!!
Fully outfitted. Completly rebuilt. Come's with or without turbo. (200 bux cheaper without turbo.) Minus injectors. 750 bux. :-D
I also picked up a 84 Rivera 231 Turbo motor for nothing. It's going in a go kart. :)
Wow this is my week. :cheers: :cheers:
EDIT: If ya don't understand, search my name and sacrilegious. :)

Sounds like a good buy on a GN motor if it's in good shape and you're looking for that kind of thing. I have always been kind of puzzled by the GN fetish, but that's just me. If you happen to find one of those GN nuts that motor could = a profit.

My friend had a GN turbo engine with two turbos in this thing... It was pretty nice drive. Nowadays the car sits without engine because of the finnish laws, it wasn't possible to get this thing registered... Great engine though!

88'Cubka, I assume its going in one of the vettes??? I heard there is problems in fitting it in C3s due to hood clearance on the turbo. If this is not the case i would seriously consider putting one in mine. I used to have a GN and it kicked but t.

Turbo Buick Into 1971 Corvette
Mike Cambio, a 1996 Real Street Eliminator participant, dropped a turbo Buick (Regal/GN) engine and TH200-4R trans into a 1971 Corvette. For motor mounts, the stock Buick mounts on the engine work, but the frame mounts had to be fabricated. The Vette’s TH400 trans crossmember accommodated the 200-4R by slotting the mounting holes. The 200-4R is within 1/2 inch in length of a TH400, and the Corvette’s stock-length driveshaft worked with a TH350 yoke--the same piece as used in a 200-4R. The stock Buick turbo V-6 oil pan fit perfectly in the Vette’s chassis, while the factory Buick exhaust manifolds cleared the car’s framerails and steering box. Mike had a turbo downpipe fabbed at a muffler shop. The result is a stock-looking Corvette that runs low 11s on 10-inch slicks and knocks down nearly 25 mpg on the highway. http://www.carcraft.com/editorial/ar...pe=745&aid=987
This link shows a couple more nice examples of the GN motor potential. http://www.sportmachines.com/magrack...aft_12-92.html

Miker,
The link is out of date. Do you have an updated link.
The Buick turbo is an awesome engine. We need to get a sub-culture going here.

For real fun, install one in a Chevy Monza.
If you can find one that came with the V-6, it would then be a direct bolt in. The car is light, small and responds well to suspension mods. It could be a really good sleeper.

I'm certain that I still have the old issue of CarCraft featuring that Vette in the RSE competion. If I happen to find it, I'll scan it and email it to you.
