Hi Everyone
A new menber from France.
I have a splendid project to restored an 100% original 1961 invicta convertible sold new in France in 61. It's a barn find, stocked for more than 30 years now in the countryside.
Very happy to start this project !
The issue I have is with the Block, it has a huge crack all along the block on one side, due to a very cold winter 25 years ago, and water aws in the cooling system at the time....
Regarding the size of the crack a simple weld is not possible.
That's why I'm looking for an original block.
I may find one but want to be sure thats the blocks are the same.
The block number of my invicta is : 6H 1012022.
The block I found come from an 62 electra 225, engine block number : 1849046 2A; cylinder head number 1196914.
If anyone can help me with this !
Just a beginner in the Buick World !
Some photos of the invicta
And an other photos from the block I found for sale.
