Engine swap
Hi all,
I am new here. I have a 95 Bonneville SE that was totalled during an accident in the snow here in NJ. I have the opportunity to purchase a 91 Buick Park Ave. for a real good price. I was wondering if it would be worth it to swap the Series II engine from my Bonneville into the Buick. Also, what would I have to swap over exactly? I tried doing a search of the forums, but I got way too many results. If this subject has been covered, I am sorry for bringing it up again. Maybe someone could post a link to a discussion of this sort.
Thanks

Thanks for all the quick replies.
It'* not a problem doing the swap myself, but will it really be worth it? The drivetrain is perfectly fine in the Park Ave. I have looked around, but all I can find as far as info regarding the differences between the 2 motors is HP numbers.
Thanks again for all the help.

Series 2 engines have a better support network all together and you can get more products for the series 2 without having to go custom. You can do the same with a series1 but there is more custom building required.
