Basically, I have a Chevy 229/3.8 and access to a non-running (but can turn the crank) 1985 even fire Buick 252/4.1. I would like to use various parts off the 4.1 in/on the 3.8 block to make the 3.8 a higher HP and torque motor. BUT, I have NO idea what parts interchange. SOOO, here are my more major questions:
1) Does anyone know the head differences between the two motors? Will they interchange? If they will not interchange, will the the valves interchange? If so, what are the differences? IE. Will changing the 3.8 valves with the 4.1 valves give me bigger valves or not? Or vice versa if they heads are interchangeable?
2) Is the camshaft interchangeable??
3) Which leads to, are the crankshafts interchangeable?? If they are, which rods, wrist pins, etc. should I use to get my desired results?
Let me know what you can when you can...THANKS!!!
