This is a specialized guide focused on high-performance engine building, not a standard repair manual for a specific car. It provides expert techniques for modifying a wide range of Buick V6 engines, from vintage to the more common 3.8L platforms.
The specific engine families covered in detail are:
• 198 CID (1962–1963)
• 225 CID (1964–1967)
• 231 CID / 3.8L (1975–1986)
• 252 CID / 4.1L (1980–1984)
• 196 CID / 3.2L (1978–1979)
• 181 CID / 3.0L (1982–1986)
For these engines, the manual dives deep into advanced topics like blueprinting, machining specifications for block and heads, crankshaft balancing, and selecting aftermarket components for racing or high-performance street applications. It's the definitive guide for anyone looking to build a powerful and reliable Buick V6.
