Gary is correct.. 4 of my friends have Turbo Buicks, and other than
the cigarete lighter, and some metric bolts, not much interchanges
with my Syclone.  Worth mentioning, is that the Buick has
stronger pistons, similar flowing ex-ports, 30-35% better intake ports,
Smoother idle and beter off-idle response (maybe due to SFI?)..
About the only thing they don't do better than the Syclone pickup is haul 
manure..
