Just came across a 2007 Grand Prix with the engine still in-tact at the local yard. I figured it's a good opportunity to offer one of you a complete GenV supercharger setup.

$300+shipping for everything on the top of the engine that you want (intake manifold, injectors, fuel rail, sensors, TB, supercharger). Miles unknown, but I'll get shots of the rotors if requested. Some minor items that I saw, visible in pics (vac lines dried out, fuel rail inlet bent, EVAP port missing but can go brass or replace/delete depending on project).

I've got another GenV in storage in great condition, too, if more than one person is interested. Hopefully, I can provide my JY hunting talents to get you started on your projects. This Omaha area seems to have a decent selection so far.

Also have these 2007 L32 engine/heads available from this one (make offer, probably just pick-up or can drive a little bit depending on the deal), and the heads from my 2004 L32 in storage and available ~May after I get settled into a house.

Where are you located and how much for the one in storage?

In Omaha. Make an offer that seems reasonable, and I'm game to consider it. I've got some skin in buying the engines that both came on already, so it's to help keep the garage hobby above water.

Well i joined your channel and was able to see your vids, very cool stuff..
Do i need more than just a blowrr to change to a gen 5

 

[jessdarper]

Id be interested in everything you have for the conversion to a non sc motor, i got my blower cheap so lets start off at 300..

 

[dezldave961]

I should be able to provide almost everything for a "top-swap" from this 2007 engine, for a bit more than just a blower price (fuel rail/injectors from a the Series 2 would be a bit easier to use, and can be found easily, even by me possibly).

If you're looking to go from an engine already setup to run the L67 Gen3 M90 to a GenV (5):

• slightly longer opening in the LIM (either use Series 3's or carefully cut Series 2 using gasket as template)
• throttle body adapter for the bigger 75mm opening (most upgrade to Northstar TB for this)
• minor vac line tweaks I can explain in detail as needed

 

[jessdarper]

How much would that be, i dont know how much blowers go for,i have gotten all of mine ( 3 gen 3's and 1 gen 5 ) thru facebook or junkyard..
I am very interested tho

 

[jessdarper]

Do you know anything about RWD application?

 

[dezldave961]

S/C's usually go for a couple hundred bucks, and a full set of top swap hard parts is usually $800 or so (heads, pulleys, brackets, s/c, etc.).

For RWD, it's just a matter of clearing the wiper tray, making the intake turn to a side like Holden M90's, and rearranging the accessories to fit.

 

[jessdarper]

Ok.. i guess ill have to pass cause i cant spend 800 right now..

 

[dezldave961]

If you have an idea that isn't basically me giving things away and losing my shirt, let me know. A top-swap is basically converting an L36/26 to a S/C engine down to the shortblock being the only original sub-assembly left alone.

If the cost of those parts already makes you wince, you aren't going to get much leeway once you have to buy the necessary gaskets/fluids/specialty tools/etc. from inflexible commercial vendors. As someone who started tinkering with these cars long before my funds permitted, it forced me to temper my plans and also get smarter on what can be accomplished safely/efficiently with the lowest cost and resources available.

 

[jessdarper]

I have the heads, gen5 blower, intake and all the gen 3 accesories, i didnt know how diff it was from a 5.. your message seemes rude and arrogant, which i have found online buick community people. I will just find everything locally now.. ty for the little we talked... i can just hunt longer here

My boss encouraged me to search online. He is a grand national racer so ill juzt work qith him..

GN crowd is a bit "different"... For a variety of reasons that crowd would probably make a good little anthropology research project.

It's not my intent to sound rude. I just want to A) at least break even while offering parts to fellow members, and B) suggest a variation of the learning pathway for frugal modding on this specific platform, which has provided me 20yrs of hobby entertainment and friendships while living nationwide as a college kid, technician, and servicemember.

I'm guessing you aren't happy with either the price and/or advice that I'm hoping will make you more self sufficient with your build. I'm always going for the "teach a man to fish" method in various ways, because if you browse here (and other 3800 sites) enough, you'll see the recurring questions and issues that arise from only giving a fish with no further context.

No biggie, good luck. The internet is always harder to read than people's voices, and I'm just as guilty as anyone for reading/writing in ways that cause unnecessary tension.
