Hi,
my name is Markus. I live near Berlin (Capitol of Germany). I did not own a Buick car, but we have an Buick 300 V8 in a 1961 Chevrolet Corvair Truck. We did not build it, we bought it with this conversion. The owner of the truck is my wife, I'm only the mechanic ;).
The engine is a 1966 or 67 with iron heads and intake (2bbl of course). There is a ST400 behind the 300.
We bought a 1964 engine with a damaged rod, this engine has aluminium heads and 2bb intake we want to bolt on our engine.
If I can find a aluminium 4bbl intake we will change to that one.
We want saving weight on the Corvair front suspension, thats why we change to the aluminium parts. My wife don't need much more performance.
I'm thinking about to switch the ignition from points to magnetic of hall effect.
We also have to build headers for this application.
My personal car is a 1955 Chevrolet 150 with Posi Trac rear, Muncie trans and a 355 sbc.
A good friend owns a 1971 Buick Rivera Boatstail GS Stage II 455 cui for over 20 years and I helping him sometimes.
