I have been a fan of the 60V6 since 1991 when I purchased a 1982 Buick Skylark back in the spring of '91. It went MPFI on April 6, 1996 after spending nearly a year doing research and gathering parts (no internet then, just Mitchell manuals from the local library). It had 133 miles on the clock then and went to 210K before it dropped a valve in June 2002. In went a RWD 3.4 from a '94 Camaro. I sold the car in 2007 for a more practical vehicle, a 2006 Silverado 5.3L Vortec. We purchased a 2001 Buick Century 3100 in March 2002 and still have the vehicle. Still looks and drives lie new, because, well. I have meticulously cared for it all these years. Hasn't cracked the 100K mile mark yet, but I'm doing a feasibility study on the practicality of adding the LZ9 to add more punch to it, still retaining the stock pcm. This is not just some far off fantasy, but a possibility. This will be my first major engine project since 2010, when I dropped in a iron block version of the 2002 Corvette LS6. I have built the harness and programmed the pcm myself and done so for many others, so this part to me is basically child's play. I've had Tunercat software almost since it was first introduced to the public.

Very nice wagon. These Buicks are virtually bullet. Funny, of all the years we've owned this Buick, this is the very first picture I have ever taken of it. My plan is to use the LZ9 engine, VVT delete, and use as much as the brackets and accessories bolted on the engine that came with the 3100 with no mods. Hopefully a true bolt on. And to use the existing pcm with just copying over the 3900 engine specs from the E67 to the P05 ecm.1 PhotoLast edited by SLPRLZ9; 06-16-2024, 07:39 PM.

Welcome I am hoping to get a few cars running this year and then swap an LZ into one of them later on as well. The 3900 computer layout is much different than the 3100, so there won't be much to copy really. Ill be doing OBD1, and have already seen what megasquirt does with the VVT delete in what was a 3400 race car. If OBD2 can be used, that would probably excited quite a few people. Physically mounting it into the car is also going to be some work.Ben
