A New Era Buick GNX
For the first of many engine builds at Street Muscle Action, we couldn’t just settle for something ordinary. No, this is a new century re-imagining of Buick’s turbocharged V6. This time around we’re talking about a 76 millimeter turbo, 42 extra cubic inches and total output of over 700 horsepower. So far we have the first three video installments in a series chronicling the entire buildup. Up next we will bolt on the turbo and get it up on the dyno, so check back regularly for more!
Part One
Building the foundation: Preparing the block to be able to withstand 700 horsepower, and installing the crankshaft.
Part Two
The rotating assembly: Plugging in the connecting Rods and pistons.
Part Three
Cylinder Heads and Valvetrain: Making old aluminum heads new again and bringing the valvetrain into the 21st century.

I believe the owner told me the cost was somewhere around 12 grand, but your mileage may vary depending on your engine builder. Currently the engine is in the car but with a very (and I emphasize the word “very”) mild tune. The owner plans to get the car to a tuner soon but money issues have kept him from getting it done. Believe me, I’d like to finish this series off with a good dyno session!
