Turbocharged400sbc 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2022 got stopped by a lexus driver, asked about the car and he thought it was the toyota engine..... so two 3 to 1 merges into a 2 to1 with equal length piping does sound like the I6 it sounds nothing like any other 3800/3.8 buick cars i have to rewire the OD switch but once i do the TCC ive been testing will be connected to it. i can cruise at 65mph at 2400rpm instead of nearly 3000.... so there's that. i weighed down the ass end by putting a skid of 2000lbs of steel in the back with a torn up MSC catalog above the tires to push the lip up and out, nearly got it to do a wheelie. no longer slicing up the sidewalls of the MT ET streets....however i noticed the "pop" sound i heard....appears to be that i popped EVERY one of the lower rocker stainless trim clips while i was probably flexing the hell outta the unibody. it at least appears that the land cruiser guys use the same clips and they are available.... fix one problem create another.....i love what you do to me, toyota Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordo 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2022 Well, if you say so... To me, it sounds more like a '64 Corvair with a FlowBastard muffler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turbocharged400sbc 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2022 Well after a good bit of work everything appears to be doing good so I'm going to be driving this jalopy from Chicago Illinois to just south of Flint Michigan for the buick v6 gathering....June 19th Flint was the home of the factory that made all of the Buick 3.8 & 3800 V6's I will be driving via tachometer to gauge my speed and everything else I'm going to cross my fingers but hopefully all of the Toyota electrical glitches don't leave me stranded somewhere since I'm pretty sure it won't be the Buick engine or GM trans that will leave me stuck somewhere....I hope. I'm going to cross my fingers and kiss my ass goodbye. Wish me luck or wish me to spontaneously combust while driving the Toyota. Either way it's technically my first vacation in years.

Turbocharged400sbc 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2022 He's actually really mild compared to some of the locals. Verbal Jabs at your kidneys, liver and gut's are pretty damn common at the car shows. Then again some of them have spent nearly $1,000 on a set of lug nuts....so their opinions are worth 0.01 cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordo 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2022 Hopefully, it won't go up in flames before you get there, so it can take other Puick V6s with it. Honestly, I wish you thee best of luck. You should live stream, just in case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordo 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2022 So, are you being shunned at the Puick get together? You know, I and everyone else would give you more respect if you had put that engine in a '66 Buick Special wagon, or put a hyper 4AG into the X7. But we all make poor choices in life. I once asked a girl to marry me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turbocharged400sbc 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2022 Actually it's been getting a hell of a lot of attention I tried to upload a picture from when it first showed up and it's always had a crowd around it almost all day. Non-stop questions I kind of wish I knew more about the mx62 chassis aside from front brakes smaller than the 2-door Coupe and the rear axle that might as well have toothpicks in the axle tubes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Turbocharged400sbc 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2022 I went to the Buick Club of America meet in Lisle Illinois and boy Gordo you're missing your calling with Grumpy Old Men. I will admit all of them had their wives trained well to answer questions. So many old farts taking a 1908 Buick twin-cylinder out for Joyrides. I swear to God I was expecting a bingo game to break out somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
