I got the lines all ran through the frame like describe. It worked out great. I got the lines from Summit racing. They were a little long but overall I am very pleased on how they turned out. Thank...

I am about to install my rebuilt 350 in to my 72 Skylark. I am putting headers on the new motor and I am wondering what I need to do with the transmission cooler lines. Wondering what most guys do...

Thanks for everyone's help. I have a 73 455 carb so I guess I will have to weight out the odds of getting a 350 carb or not.

I am in the process of building a mild 72' 350. I need help with my choice of carb to go with it. As of right now I wanted to stick with the Quadrajet to keep the Buick looking more original plus...
Still looking for some manifolds?
Thanks for the information and the video Bob.

Exfarmer and Bob,
Thanks for your help.
So from what I understand cast pistons are a good choice for my build and upgrading to a hypereutectic piston isn't really worth the gain. Correct? ...
That goal is at the flywheel. What is the difference usually between the flywheel and the tires?
The max rpm will be at 5500.
I read the Kenne-bell article you posted and I feel I am on the...
Thanks for your help Bob. I am picking up a new 72 block tomorrow and the fun will begin. Could anyone give me some extra insight on my rebuild. I plan on using mostly TA products because the fact...
Who knows. It could have been doomed from the start and it was a miracle is lasted as long as it did. I have a clean slate so now I can build something that will last and enjoy it. Thanks for your...
The outcome of the situation was a cracked block in the oil galley by the rear lifters, by the rear pug for the cam, and in the two rear cylinders. The cam was broken. Through the to rear rods. A...
I haven't been able to crawl under the car and take a close look yet but I will at the end if this week hopefully.
I just need to pick up an engine stand and ask around for a cherry picker. I...
Well the radiator and system is about two years old now and had maybe 600 miles on it since I changed everything out. To me its brand new. Again no problems with this at all.
As for the...
I don't know how it could have over heated because the radiator and all lines and hoses with a new thermostat are all brand new. I checked the oil before I drove it that day and the oil was at a good...
My car is a 72 Buick Skylark 350
I was driving down the highway and I heard and felt a loud cluck so I pulled over. I threw my drive shaft (broke at the rear u joint) and then I noticed oil spitting...
Thank you for your help! The plan is to start this project in a couple of months because I am finishing up my semester of college then it's a summer project. I will post once it is done. Thanks...
Got to love Murphy's law. Well I can't mark the rear end because I am taking it completely out and putting a different one in. That is my main concern with the project. I have an automatic...
So when I take the drive shaft out and re install it the orientation of the drive shaft to the transmission and to the differential does not matter and will not have any off balance or effect on the...
Replacing the u joints shouldn't be a problem with balance, I am not going to be running the car at high speeds. The car will be a mild performance car at about 350-400 hp, three speed automatic and...
I am having my rear end in my 72 skylark rebuilt into 3.42, right now I have the stock one wheel wonder. I am having someone build up a core for me and then swapping them. My main concern is when I...
Thanks for your help Bob. Now the next step is to find a block and start the rebuild!
Jake
Is the only way to tell if a block has been bored with a micrometer or is there stamp from the machinist on the block (sounds kinda like a dumb question)? So any block really is fine for my...
That book is pretty pricey. I have How to Build Max-Performance Buick Engine by Jefferson Bryant and seems to be a pretty good book so far. Do you have any advice where years of blocks to stay a way...
