I have aquired a Buick engine to fit in the rear of a mk4 Escort autograsser and was wandering what year it is. The only numbers on it are cast into it. They are 1382201L and it is a 350ci block. Could anyone tell me what year it is and what BHP the engine has. Also where could I get a workshop manual fron, bearing in mind I live in England

The base engine became a 350 cubic inch engine and made 280 horsepower and 375 ft/lbs of torque

Look for a rebuild manual on a 1969 Buick Skylark

There' s a fair amount of identification information in the "Reference" section of the site. Have a look
