knowledgeable Holden/ Chevy/ Buick V6 forum

[Crazy Dazz]

I realise that most Holden drivers can't read or write, so this may be a forlorn hope. But I'm hoping there might be a forum somewhere where there are a few folks knowledgeable about the old Holden (Buick) V6 and the Chevy small block V8/V6.
So just to be clear, I'm looking for a more technical minded forum, focussing on the engines, but one that is still reasonably populated.

I have two Chevy 3.8 V6's, which are based on the small block and share some components which makes life easier. The Buick (Holden) engine despite also being a 90 degree 3.8l is a completely different engine.

But what I'm hoping to do is adapt Holden fuel injection to the Chevies.

If its the same 3.8L Buick V6 they used in the Commodores check out turbobuick.com

They are pretty much gurus of the 3.8L Buick V6.

Nah, really need a crossover forum that encompasses the Holden and hopefully some Chevy info.
Weirdly, GM produced two 90 deg V6's of 3.8l capacity, but they are different.

I doubt very much if Buick or Holden manifolds will fit.
But I am hoping to scrounge and adapt the Holden EFI.

You have an old carby V6 Chev and you want to adapt the EFI on to it ?
Non of the Buick V6 intakes will fit.

Once you start into the Buick V6 their is more to it than just 2 different ones and it's the same with the Chev V6's.

The best V6 is the VS to VY Commodores the others are rubbish.

I use to date a girl who's dad use to import USA based cars into Aussie.
He done a few imports of the chevy vega with v6 engines.
I remember he had 2 x supercharger kits to suit this engine at the time, B&M units.
He also had an array of manifolds/injectors to suit. There is even one of the boats he built here running this V6 engine fuel injected. He has since passed away many years ago, and I know all this gear was still around after he passed away. One of my mates just brought the last chevy vega off the daughters last year, and implanted an LS1 into it. I could ask if they still have components lying around if it helps!
AGRO.
