The engine is from a 93 regal. It's a 3800 series 1 tpi 170hp 220 t

with a thm4t60e trans.

It should be an improvement over the duke tm125c combo.

 I have the tubo in the 3.8 T type Riv that I have to bring back

from the Island. I think it will work good on this engine

Uhm advice.  Hmm, slap a big fat turbo on it. :)

 

That engine looks very nice and will make a great addition to your car. I can't wait to see it up and running.  Will have to take me for a boot in it when it is done.

After haggling over price for half a year I finally got my Buick 3800 tpi home and out of it's car. I plan to install the engine and it's 4 speed auto into my 85 2m4.

I'd like to here from anybody that may have advice on this swap.
