After really looking at the cost of the rebuild of the GA i picked up, i started to think twice. Then a guy at work offered me a buick 231V6. Low mileage motor (he got it in 81). So, I know i need the adapter stuff and cooling, probably some other stuff like headers or other misc crap. Anyone have the 231 ? and how do you like it?

I put a 231 into a '73 Vega back in 1978. Power was down low, not a rever. Good torque. Lots of motor torque over to control vs. the inline 4 it replaced. I think built to a different hp/torque curve it could be a lot of fun. I was looking for an aluminum small block buick v8, literally found this car, an Astre, I think, in a ravine and pulled the motor and transmission out on a skid.
