daydreaming: 3.8 Buick Turbo GN swap anyone ever done it?
Vital stats from some later model Grand Nationals: 200+ HP at around
4000 RPM... nearing 300 foot pounds at 1800...
Great sleeper musclecar engine, maybe even better Jeep engine... enough
HP to pass people and cut through the aerodynamic disadvantage... better
low end torque by far than the 4.2... a turbo and nice aftermarket and
OEM parts options (Including an intercooler for the last year of the GN)...
Motor is a decendant of the Dauntless V6 Jeep motor...

In My Humble Opinion, four wheel drives and Turbos don't go
together, even tricked out, they just take too long to spool up.

Talk to Advance Adapters. One of their catalogs mentioned a solution to put
a 3.8 into a Cherokee, but they were probably thinking of the naturally
aspirated version at the time. Don't expect a kit, or a series of detailed
instructions. Why not a Pontiac Grand Am or Grand Prix engine instead? I
think you could get those supercharged, thereby avoiding some of Bill's
objections.
