Northstar conversion

Found a good site for engine swap information (formerly only for RX-7): http://www.engineswaps.com/

 

They have some links to Northstar/SC Buick Fiero swaps and this information page about the Northstar engine:

http://members.tripod.com/~grannys/enginescadillac.html

 

According to them, the Northstar uses a Buick-Olds-Pontiac bellhousing pattern. If thats true, I think it would be possible to make a Northstar/T56 combo by using a BOP adapter and re-drilling the flywheel to bolt to the engine.

 

This company: http://www.chrfab.com/

deals with Northstar aftermarket parts. They mention a future custom bellhousing and flywheel for the T56. I doubt those items are necessary but I will call and see what they know.

Cool links! That Chrfab site is pretty cool, the Northstar decked out with their cam covers looks alot like a Hemi or a Ford 429 Boss motor. Really cool.

In feb. '00 Car Craft issue. Page 108 there is an article on the Northstar rear drive conversions. Through Engine Master Conversions. <14k mileage with a street 700r4 for $6,250. Then they show a twin turbo setup from Twin Turbonetics producing 500 to 600hp. WooHoo!!! Check it out. Frank
