Hello all, I have had an idea (pretty scary, I rarely think) I have a friend who owes me a couple things and I got to thinking. The 1987 Buick Grand National from what I know has a 3.8 liter like my Delta, but is turbo. GM in that era used that engine in alot of model lines from what I know. I thought it would be pretty cool to see a Turbo Buick engine slapped in a Oldsmobile granny car. I know id have to change over alot od stuff and re-work alot to fit (Exhaust manifold, transmission adapter plate, computer, etc.) What I wanna know is, is this even feasable? I know the Grand Nation is a RWD, and the Delta is FWD, but I could rig up a transmission adapter plate. It would be a really good winter project, and plus it would totally surprise everybody when I rev the car and you hear the turbo wind up in an Oldsmobile...Just a though...

Never though of the L67. The current 3.8 Liter in the Delta is on its way south (deep south) and am looking for some alternatives and thought Turbo Buick since they were the same displacement I thought they were the same engine. Ill have to look into the L67, I rember hearing they were a bad ass engine in its stock form.

I'd be really cool to spend the money you'd spend on the swap, and build up your existing engine to handle a turbo, and stick one in yourself.
I think turbos are far cooler than superchargers, but thats my opinion
