Hey man, if you need any help let me know. I'm KevinB over on turbobuick.com. Reach me over there if you need something.

RIP Kenny:( This is very sad news. The Buick community just lost a great one.

It's already been done. There are many fox bodies with a Buick V6 http://videos.streetfire.net/video/V6-Buick-Powered-TT_173342.htm

And no one has bought it yet. I wonder why? haha

Sounds good! I would do a fox body hybrid

That weight isn't as bad as I would have thought. My car is 3550 with me, I weigh about 185 or so. It does look like it needs some decent heads and turbo. Should be able to do about 550+ or so on 93 and a 70, add some alchy and push it a little more.

Damn, he's got more cubes than me! I'm only at 234", but I spin mine to 7000.

That is a real sleeper! We could make some cash with it haha. I help Lonnie out at his shop every once in awhile when he gets busy, so I see pretty much everything that comes in and out of there. We were talking about how you could really take the money by putting my drivetrain in there lol. I guess you guys got the MAFT pro figured out? I know that car had an idling issue at one time. I messed with it a little, but my MAFT Pro knowledge isn't the greatest. i forget the story on that engine, I know it pretty much destroyed some parts though

Were you the guy that I met halfway between Cincy and C-bus?

I know that car. I have seen it at Lonnie's shop before. Does it have a MAFT Pro in it? I remember it had some strange tranny leak that we were trying to figure out.

Richard, the guy that owns that garage, is always at the Buick races. Everytime I clean my garage and find old parts laying around, I put them in a box. He usually gives me about 50 dollars or so for stuff I'd just throw away. Cool guy.

Yeah really. The idiot who wrote that email needs to go back to 2nd grade. 85,000,000,000 / 200,000,000 = 425 But hey, I'll take $425.

Thats what I posted on page 2. Good to see it works for others too. I think the danger people talk about with the energy drinks and alcohol are due to caffeine and other uppers such as that. The 5 Hour energy bottles have very low caffeine content. It's mostly made up of vitamins. If anything, I have been using that stuff before I drink for over a year or so....and I'm still alive lol.

I always suffered from very bad hangovers. One night before going out, I was drained on energy. While buying my beer at the store, I noticed that 5 hour energy stuff. Thinking it would give me some extra go for the night, I chugged the small bottle as soon as I got in the car. That night I did some binge drinking with the buddies. All might I was mixing beer and liquor. Usually that makes the next day for me worthless. Anyways, I woke up the next day at 9 am and felt like a million bucks. I should have been hurting bad. Next week I did it again with the drinking and the 5 hour energy stuff. Again, same results. I told a few friends about it, and they had the same results. I've been told it can be taken the next day to cure a hangover, but I always do it beforehand so I don't know. If you read the bottle, its filled with all kinds of random vitamins. I guess that's why it works, no idea. But whatever, it works. Try it out! I'm anxious to see if others have the same results.

Give me a break, just wanted to see some pics. Been here since 2005, just never really posted.

Post some pics of the Vette's engine!!!!! Nice rides btw

Thanks, I try lol. Got the cam in tonight! Hope to be back on the road in a week or so. Here is a pic of what's keeping me down. Notice the damage to the wheel http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/turbo3.jpg

Screw that...I'll race the cop car. I'm not afraid of your cop engine, cop suspension, cop tires. I am afraid of the radio though lol.

To the people involved, sorry to hear this. I wish you guys the best! Anyways, I didn't read all the posts in this thread, but I would imagine drunk drivers take WAY more lives and cause WAY more accidents than street racing. Seems like in Cincinnati, there is at least one death from a dd accident every night. Can not tell you when the last street racing accident down here was. To me, the OSHP and other police agencies have their priorities all messed up. But hey, I guess catching some street racers makes a better story.

Thanks!

Since I'm bored, I'll post more pics lol. Had to update the cage this winter. Also rewired the car. This is an ugly pic, but it shows some of the work being performed: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/100_1459.jpg NHRA certified! http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/100_1461.jpg battery relocation: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/100_1472.jpg I used 1-0 wire for the relocating the battery. So far, no charging issues at all! I have since detailed the trunk and added a fuel cell, but my camera is being gay right now, so no new pics. Tonight I plan on putting the kids and wife to bed early (probably a no pussy night for me haha...wait a minute.... ) and finish my cam install. I'll try to get some pics if the camera decides to work.

Thanks guys! Almost forgot this pic. It was from Norwalk earlier this year: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/norwalk1.jpg

even more pics: engine stand pic: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/engine4.jpg and the one that sucks the most....hit a deer in the fall It's all fixed now, but this is right after it happened: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/wreck1.jpg

More pics: Looks a little different now, but this was a pic of the engine bay after I installed it last year (it's a little cleaner now): http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/engine.jpg Putting it together: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/oilholes.jpg gapping the rings: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/rings.jpg pistons in: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/pistons.jpg bottom end together: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/bottomend-1.jpg heads on: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/heads.jpg getting closer: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/side.jpg

I registered a while ago but never posted. Anyways, my name is Kevin and I have an '87 Buick Turbo T. I live in Cincy. Here's some pics: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/exterior1-1.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/vsbanana1.jpg not the best interior pic, but it gives you an idea what it looks like inside http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j42/whitet231/100_1479.jpg Right now the car is down due to a turbo failure. Should be up and running in a few weeks. I'm taking advantage of the down time to install a new cam that should help it out a little. I plan on going to National Trail in the beginning of August for a Buick race up there.
