Title: Cold Air Intake setup 3800SC Post by: lacelles on May 03, 2005, 10:58:16 am Hi
What setup can I use for an air intake kit that will fit on an 87 Fiero GT with a 3800SC (Buick engine)? Can I use a off the shelf kit somewhere (BUICK KIT), or I need the one that WCF sales? Do you have any picture of your setup?

All parts needed cost about $180 CDN. Sorry I don't have any pic's to show you.

Don't know if he has a camera, but I will be going to Belville on the long weekend and can get pics, if required.

Marked it with a sharpie , held it with some welding magnets. Tacked it , rechecked with a filter on , welded it up , ground down the welds , painted with VHT Temp and chemical resistant paint...done.
$15 for the mandrel bent pipe $10 for the paint $2 for the sharpie $40 for the filter Finished it in about 2hrs, looks great |
