will those inlet manifolds fit a buick or echotech v6 or none

You would need the upper and lower intake manifold, it is an Ecotec V6. You'd also need to get some of the sensors figured out, etc etc.

Well I had some work done to the heads, had .020 milled off, going with a .045 MLS gasket to bump compression to something more like 10:1 over the 9.3:1 of the stock setup. Looking forward to this getting finished, going to be picking up some other parts soon...

Here's the progress that was made:

Headshot after the new milling, 0.020" off, nice and shiny:

Looks good mate, i wish we had the aftermaket v6 stuff that you guys have, even half of the factory stuff would be awsome.

Picked up a tubular K-member (engine cradle) with road racing reinforcement. Should lighten up the front end and also allow more room to work! Compared to the stock stamped steel k-member, this thing looks like a featherweight!

damn. thats nice. we have nothing like that here. the best i've seen on a race car is some lightening work being done with a hole saw and plasma cutter :whistling:
