Honestly, that motor is not even close to a GN motor. The time, trouble and expense it would take to convert that motor to fuel injection, not to mention intercooled, wouldn't be worth your time. Your best bet would be to find a true GN drivetrain, or just tweak the '79 and try to get it to run good, knowing it will never, without MAJOR expense, run like a GN. If you can buy the motor cheap, you could sell the turbo crank out of it for $200-300 if it hasn't been cut.
Go to turbobuick.com and check out the Before Black Section. They have a wealth of info on the early turbo cars. Maybe they could give you some info that will help. Good Luck |
