Hello,
I'm trying to decide whether to sell or fix up our 1990 Buick Estate Wagon (comes up under LeSabre Estate Wagon in most online parts searches) and I have some questions I was hoping you guys could help with Please???
First: Since my understanding is our Estate Wagon has the Chevy 305 (and the Chevy 5.7 350 was optional)...
... Wouldn't I be able to use the same Headers & Other parts to swap a 454 Big Block Chevy into the Buick Wagon that would be used to swap the same 454 into the Caprice Wagon???
(Would also appreciate any tips & part numbers for solid motor mounts, headers ect you're willing to share on this!!!)
Second: Does the Suspension on the 1980 to 1990 Buick Estate Wagon use the same parts/part numbers & components as the 1978 to 1990 Caprice Wagons???
(Looking for Stiffer Coil Springs, Stronger Sway Bars and Maybe the Caprice 2" Lowering Spindles if they fit???)
Third: Can Any Of You Recommend What Rear Axle to use that I can set up with roughly a 3.90 to 4.11 Posi for this thing???
(Currently has a 10 Bolt Rear and the Rear Cover measures about 9 1/2" across).
The car currently has Buick's 5 Lug on 5" Bolt Pattern...
... and my understanding is this is the same for the Caprice or Caprice Wagon???
Thank You for Any & All Help with this!!!
Talk Soon!
Blessings!
