engine swap & TBI

ok...dumb questions but you gotta start somewhere right?



Can i take the TBI setup (computer, sensors and all) from a chevy 2.8L v6 and through the use of some adaptation, make it work with a buick



3.8L v6 which was carbeurated?

I can't see it not working but would like to make sure before i start building an adapter plate for the intake and drilling holes for various sensors & emission controls (that had be filled in for better raw power in previous implementation ;)


Ohhhhhhhh Lord............... It's theoretically possible but i can think of better ways to get a headache

Lean>? Hell no- you'd be running WAY fat....

LOL! indeed.

but what fun is it when all you do is follow everyone else? you gotta leave the beaten path to find excitement.

Much easier to swap the 2.8 hardware for the correct items for the 3.8. No hacking and guessing.

ok...so generally speaking, about all i probably need to do is replace the injectors with something a bit more robust so as not to starvethe engine...?
