66cj5 09-19-2002, 01:39 PM I just bought a 181 Buick V6. I thought it was a 231, but after looking up the casting #s it's actually a 181. Does anybody know if this 181 will bolt up to a TH350 with BOP bellhousing? Can 231 accessories bolt up to it? Is there anything I need to know about this motor?? Weezer 09-19-2002, 01:57 PM I didnt know buick made a 181, do you have any idea what year it is, I run a buick 198 in my flat fender 66cj5 09-19-2002, 02:02 PM The casting #s say that it is an 82-84. I looked it up and the only vehicle I find is a Buick Skylark RWD. I'm wondering if this is going to be more work than it's worth... TexasBlake 09-19-2002, 02:06 PM My buddy had a Buick Skylark. I twas a total piece of crap..... it's probably better than an AMC 151 though.

If it is actually from a RWD car then it should, but if it is really from a FWD car(231 as the smallest I Could find for the RWD Skylark which was last produced in 79.. In 80 the Skylark was changed to FWD and used a 183 engine in 82 to 84) itmostlikely won't fit.. scottv 09-20-2002, 06:52 AM I worked in Buick Dealership as mechanic in the time period and NEVER heard of a 181. I also think the skylark Switched to FWD around that time frame so you may want to dig deeper into what exactly it is you have | |
