If you were going to build a carbureted, mildly cammed 90 degree gm v6, would you choose a Chevrolet 4.3 or a Buick 3.8/4.1? The engine would probably be backed by a th350 or a Borg Warner t5, and would see street use as well as auto x, maybe even drag strip.
Lol, yes I know there's a lot of variables, but I've got this crazy idea. I recently purchased a dirt cheap 2006 Suzuki grand vitara currently equipped with a 2.7 v6 and and 5 speed, 2wd. I'm very seriously considering yanking all that out and swapping in a GM 90 ohv v6. I'd like to build a street/track car out of it, and I'm thinking old school carb/cam/distributor setup. I could probably more easily get my hands on a Chevy engine, but it seems the Buick may have more potential long term.
Speaking of long term, that's what this project will be, so if I go with team Buick, I'm not opposed to waiting while searching around for parts. I'm not looking to do anything radical, and would probably keep the bottom end stock. So, to those of you with hot rodding experience, what say you?
Btw, if I do this, it will get a v6, v8 is not an option.
