Anyone ever soupe up a carbuerated Buick V6,or better known as the odd-fire design???

Re: Anyone ever soupe up a carbuerated Buick V6,or better known as the odd-fire desig

sorry no, neither are the turbo model. I know this forum is kinda geared to the turbo, but i have asked some th400 tranny questions here before and had good luck. I figured i would try again with this one.
I guess specifically is the intake compatible and i think this uses the crank sensor(i believe thats in the timing cover). Which would mean i need to switch timing covers if thats even possible. There is only 1 car left in the J/Y im looking in so im trying to research this quickly so no one else gets the parts before i get there.

Thanks, Brian

it would have to be an early model a distributer otherwise you will have to change the crank to the later gerator style oil pump and make a custom flywheel to mate to your trans or you will need to use up to i think 88
fuel injection manifold and related fuel system parts the make your distrubuter
compatable with the computer you will be running for your cam/crank sensor
which might be easy i dont know that part
several people have tried this idea i dont know if any finished the swap
take anything you can off the car thats related to the engine,wiring
fuel system,air filter and piping,sensors,accel cable since they are different lengths
timing cover if a sensor is mounted in it,and if it is there is a reluctor in the top timing gear that be pulled out
good luck
