I just got a motor and trans out of a 79 turbo regal and computer.
But i need to know what this is all worth and also it has 40k miles on all of it.

Also could i make a turbo off that motor work on my sbc 377?

They aren't worth that much. They aren't that rare. (see http://www.gnttype.org/general/product.html ) And they aren't used in modifying for high horsepower. They are only good for those restoring an early turbo Regal or doing an oddball transplant. The computer and such actually may be more valued than the motor itself. If its not been abused, the crank might actually hold some value.

The turbo is too small for a V8 motor that size. Two that size might work well if one were used on each cylinder bank of a V8. But that isn't a Buick motor and we only talk Buick here... :nono:
