Bringing back a beauty
HI i have 1995 buick riviera the car is so ulgy and awsome!!!! i dont know why the stoped making them its got 170,000 miles on a first gen 3800 supercharged engine and it needs some love but with enough money and time it will be a true buick sleeper car for thos of you that dont know what a sleeper car is. its a car that you see at a stop light, and think i could smoke that old junk buick. but when the light turns green the only thing your smoking is the exust as it pulles away from you.... ive had it for a month so far and ive reinforsed the frame, put new air ride shocks did a lower and upper intake manifold gasket and changed the supercharger clupler i got it all back togher and i think i switched a vacume line around because the cars ideling high and still starting hard also running a little hot the supercharger isent clanking like it useto but im gitting a high pitch grind noise from it at idle. i think i need new berrings in the back of it can you change them?if so where can i order them ? also what do you guys think of cutting out the port on the bottom of the supercharger, does it increse performance? and i know a smaller pully does the trick but how small should i go befor need to retro fit or "cobing" a inercoller to the ac condencer i just want some ideas to make this old buick a bad boy on the street!!! thanks
Welcome to the forum! There are a lot of great people here that can help you out with all your Buick wants and needs lol. Where are you at in upstate NY? I'm in Rochester.

Pulley size? Not sure about that. You can only go so far before tuning is needed and a intercooler is needed.
