V6 questions

Is there a diffrence in the cranks for the turbo
and non turbo? I was once told the turbo cranks were
forged is that true. what would happen if you used a
turbo with a non turbocrank. I know that the
compression ratio is diffrent be nonturbo 8.1 and the turbo
7.1 due to the high boost system used. Also how would
you identify a turbo crank if you had one? Also can
you get headers of hbody v6 appilcation? Thanks Jon

Jon,
All Buick V6 cranks are not equal, as for
the turbo crank, it is a cast item just like the
normal even-fire V6 Crank, but it has Rolled Fillets on
all journals and is stronger than it's non-turbo
counterpart. Get a copy of the Buick Free Spirit Performance
manual or Hot Roddding the V6, from Steve Smith
Publications, this will explain many aspects and modifications
for the Buick 3.8 and 4.1 liter engines.
