Folks, I have been here awhile. I have enjoyed interacting with ALL Buick folks, but most of all, the straight eight community. Just too little of that!
I am seriously considering building a 263 to install in my '50 Special. I rebuilt the original 248 that is in it. Only wish I had "warmed" it up a little. This build will not be a racing engine, as the guys from AZ. Nor a blown one as in Duttweiller fame. First off, those are 320's. Secondly, I have no desire to race. I do droole over their work.
Reason for this post is to ask for info. I do not want, nor do i have the time, to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. I would like to learn from ones that have done what I intend to do.
I am hoping for a strong runner.
So
What is max safe bore?
What is max shave on head?
What are best pistons to use?
How about cam?
Any thing else you can think of.
I could probably come up with many more questions, but expect you see where I am going with this.
All info is appreciated. On the forum or in a message. Will be glad to share phone # in a message.
Thanks to all for reading.
