As far as I know. I am the only one dumb enough to attempt this. So let me just let everyone know where I'm at.
The Car...
2005 Buick Allure with 150k km. Owned her for a few years now. As of bow ive got a transgo shift kit, zzp tune with some of my own tweaks. Wideband, HV3, front plog, 2.5 zzp exhaust with downpipe. Poly everything, zzp trailing arms and rear gmpp sway. Aluminum zzp trans pan. Shorter dog bones, and aluminum valve covers (plastic ones where cracked so why not).
So alittle over three weeks ago, I was screwing around at my local pick and pull. Saw a Gen V super and scooped it up and all the needes goodies for 350 (Canadian). After taking things apart, loks like things got toasty. The stock cast iron header on the front was cracked on the original car. Coolant passages were all gunked up with sludgy, almost rubbery coolant in the heads. The valve stems where cracked on all but one exhaust valve. But the super span good and made no noise. I ordered all the gaskets and such for the top swap. A new 2 bar sensor, zzp 1.9 rockers (wanting to maintain as much street ability and mpg). 90# valves, 60lb injectors. New (stock valves). ARP head studs. New stock l32 crankshaft pulley. I gathered some bits and pieces and ported out the lower intake and heads (basic port job and gasket matched). I need to reassemble the heads. Buy a cheap laptop for a tune. Change out the oil on the super and slap it all together.
There a few more little things im gonna do like paint thd supercharger, maybe weld those infamous coolant passages closed. I was wondering what are your guys thoughts where, and if I should do anything else while half the engine is apart. Is there anything I might be missing. Some one took the BBV and I dont think I can use the solenoid to control it if I get a new one anyway...
