cry for help :(

[Bwcad1]

Well guys we relaized that the motor in the buick is hosed. well were looking for a motor replacement and im on my last reserves im crying out to you guys for help someone find me a series 2 3800 vortech! 90-99 should fit and super charger or not doesnt matter!

[brent]

Whats going on with it? Is it locked up, or just bad. If your cylinder walls look ok, you might just do a quick rebuild. I searched, and found little on the for sale side of things. I will keep looking this afternoon to see what I can find. Do you care what condition as far as new or used?

[Darthness]

well in competitions you're not supposed to run the engine right?

take it out, replace it with a bunch of batterys.

okay maybe that doesn't help.

There is a list of dealers who sell that crate engine, with or without the charger.

Resources are a valuable tool! :thumbsup

Hmmm...

Well posting here probably wont find any ;)

I would look up all the Toledo yards and start calling them ;)

Oh joy, another motor swap...

I bet we can do it in two days...

[cargodz]

I'm sure it can be done in a couple days... that's nothin.
Problem is... finding one that runs that they don't want an arm and a leg for.
Westwood said they could get one out for me (since you're not allowed in their yard) for only $755.00...:surprised That's insane!
Auggies is just reopening after Spuds death and doesn't have much... they are getting in a whole new inventory... K.R.A.P. doesn't have anything but parts motors and cores. LaPoint said they didn't have any good ones for a 91-99, Everybody is out of these things... closest one I found was on a junkyard search engine about 50-60 miles out and they want $550.
Where in the heck did all these 3800s go... I mean they put em in everything.

[Ryan from Ohio]

Huh?

Ive been to Auggies a few times now, Spuds been gone since before I went in there...

lol, poor spud...

Thats where I got the turbo and the 3100 from. Decent semi normal people. Plus I got hella deals from them.

Westwood is completely insane on prices.

I will stop by Woodville Road Auto parts on my way home tomorrow. Theres B+J on Oakdale, they sell all engines for $300.

[sinister audio]

look on here i bet you can find one with in 60 miles cheap http://car-part.com/

[cargodz]

I had already checked Car-Part for my area and didn't find much (that was the search I did)... There's more of them available in Bill's area.

[Ryan from Ohio]

LaPoint has one listed but its way expensive with a TON of miles.

Woodville Road Auto Parts has one with 76K on it, but alas they want $550 for it!

:surprised

I would be keeping an eye out at Auggies. They seem to be the coolest yard around, with fair prices. I know when I was there last to get that 3100 they had a few 3800's about.

[slick94prix]

Personally, I would drive an hour into Michigan and go to Parts Galore. They have the lowest prices, nicest yard, and largest selection of any yard I have ever been to. I believe it's a $1 entrance fee(covers the cost of the cheap ass parts that you can get), but no matter if the taillight is from a BMW or a Geo, it's a flat rate.

[Bwcad1]

gotcha. maybe we will make a trip up there once i get my truck fixed :(

[swimmerdude]

gotcha. maybe we will make a trip up there once i get my truck fixed :(

And you can come visit me too. If it is the one i just found on yahoo yellow pages being on 8 mile... yes 8 mile, you will be like 15minutes from me!!

[Ryan from Ohio]

Can we visit Emnems trailer park?

I couldnt find it... lol

[neumann]

yeah be careful if you go there, its not the best part of town
