Catalytic Converter / Header????

[shorod]

I'm not familiar with this particular model and year, but one option may be the turbo setup from the Buick Grand National and Buick GNX. I think this same setup was also used in a mid-80's Trans Am. I'm not sure if any bottom end mods would be needed to handle the turbo.

I think the supercharger setup from a modern Buick or Pontiac 3.8L would require too much computer control and top end modifications to accommodate the multi-port fuel injection, etc.

229 is a chevy engine rated at 3.8L.. The buick 3.8 is a 331. They are completely different engines If you have a 229, just give up and swap in an LS1 or a 350.

As long as its emissions ready, taking it on/off it a pain.

So far as altering the catalytic converter setup, I am pretty certain that your car would not comply to CARB standards. Additionally, in CA even if you can find a high flow/performance universal, it must be approved by CARB specifically for your car.

Good luck.

Aftermarket parts do have to be approved by ARB in Ca. They have to have an EO number assigned to them showing they are approved. You can look them up here.
