terry tabacco (Terrytr7) | Sunday, December 09, 2001 - 01:14 pm I am installing a 1985 EFI/Turbo 3.8L into my 1980 Triumph TR7. I have always been a fan of the Buick Turbo and thought why not. I've been using your web site for a lot of information and parts, so I joined do you think I belong? Also I am planning on using Kenne Bell for rebuild/upgrade part source, any feed back on him? Thanks |
Scott Keller (Keller) | Sunday, December 09, 2001 - 10:25 pm Welcome to the group, Terry. If its got Turbo Regal power, we're interested. Are you using one of the swap kits from the source in Texas? I seem to remember a company down there offering Buick-V6-in-a-TR7 swap stuff as well as Chevy-in-a-Jaguar swap items. You might want to have a look at our vendors list for other parts sources. Not all vendors have a lot to support the 84/85 setups. I know S&S has some unique parts for those builds. |
terry tabacco (Terrytr7) | Monday, December 10, 2001 - 01:02 am Thank you Scott. No I'm not using one of the kits, although John's Cars out of Texas has an excellent swap kit. I'm doing this on my own. I have installed a 1980 non-turbo V6 already and was lucky enough to find someone selling the turbo/efi system from an 1985 Regal in Turbo TRader. I was very lucky. I'm rebuilding the 80' to turbo specs and it's going to be fun |
