Got the engine & transaxle into the car, bolted up at the back, and ready to fabricate a few minor parts to make the new forward crossmember mate to the body. The forward crossmember was bought from Speedway Motors in Lincoln Nebraska for a grand total of $58 to my door (http://www.speedwaymotors.com/). The crossmember clears the shift linkage just fine.

Phillip, Currently I have a Holley 9776 450 CFM four barrel on the 3.8L Buick. I also have a Holley 8007 390 CFM with vacuum secondaries to try. The 9776 is the cheapest Holley four barrel I could find so I bought that due to deck lid clearance problems knowing I would likely have to modify the air intake (choke) housing to get the clearance I need. I cut the choke housing down and it clears the deck lid but not much room for any type of air cleaner. I bought a K&N plenum with two snorkels coming off that I can run tubes from to separate individual air cleaners, and it's about as low a profile as I could fine, but not low enough. I'll have to cut a hole in the deck lid for clearance. It won't protrude above the deck lid by more than 1/4" but it does require cutting a hole. All of that is because of the Edlebrock Performer dual plane intake manifold. It is tall. I latter bought a Weiand X-cellerator single plane intake and it is about 3/4" to 1" shorter and would eliminate the need to modify the deck lid. But that will go on the 4.1L Buick V6 I am building to go into my white 76 914. I also have the original Buick 4.1L aluminum intake that takes a Rochester Q-Jet carb. It has a very low profile and would accept just about any air cleaner and have plenty of room to clear the deck lid with no modifications. Don |
