Question on mid 80's FWD Buicks

[TwiggyRamirez]

Ok so I have a '86 Park Avenue and am wondering if theres any performance parts avalable for it, and ifs it relativly easy to swap a 3.8 V6 in to a 80's 4-cylinder Century.

[color:\\"blue\\"]A supercharged Buick V6 from a late 90s or 2000s Pontiac GTP or Buick makes a great Performance upgrade. Use the transmission, wiring harness, computer and all the sensors from the donar car.

Smoking ET Street drag radials on the front wheels are a hoot.

Well seeing as how a 3.8 was a STOCK option on 84-88 Century's I would say it's pretty easy. The 3300 was also a STOCK option on 89-93/94 Century's so a 3800 swap isn't hard either. Find a donar car and just unbolt the subframe with the engine and trans intact and bolt it in. For a broad list of donars use A U-Body, Lumina or Transport Van, they share the same subframe and came stock with a 3800. Be sure to get the ECM, and Harnesses.

I coulden't find a cheap 4 Century but I did pick up a '87 Century T-Type with a 3800 for $445
