you'll have to cut the shaft if you swap that Roadmaster ps into the Special. Here's a pretty good tech article on doing that swap

I have a line on a rebuilt '56 322 in Illinois. PM me if interested. Where are you?

More horsepower would be my first reply. up from 54's 200 HP and '55's 236 HP to 255 HP in '56. They achieved this via increased compression ratios (9.0 - 1 in 55 to 9.5 -1 in '56), using a new...

Sorry, no "extra" blower intake set up. Just bringing this back up for continued discussion.

Just curious, what year is your friends 322?

I am not aware of a fitment problem with a 322 intake being used with the 364 and later heads. I have read that the later heads would require some...

a little late in answering but hope this helps someone

hisel, do you know what year car the engine came out of? The number support it being a 54 block. Sounds like someone may have replaced a 56 engine block with a 54 engine block and reinstalled the 56...

Joe, other than the II in place of a V, the rest of the numbers support that it's most likely a 55 Special engine.
BTW I haven't forgotten your tranny tube bracket. :cool:

all Dynaflow transmission supports for 1954 and 55 are the same throughout the series

ditto

very interested if '56

did that engine have an A/C on it. got that?

Tried to update my email Bob, but got the message that I had to fill in the required Spam field. Went there and it said

"This is a required field. It is an attempt to reduce automated ...

I think your Dynaflow is acting just as it should. As McGuire implied, the dynaflow doesn't actually change gears. It just flows pretty much from nothing to infinity. If it is REALLY sluggish and the...

No. the Century is a small body and the Super is a big body. Many of the doors of 54,55 and 56 interchange but they have to be of the big or small series. did that make sense. a lot of Oldsmobile...

Why not just rebuild the 56 engine. There were quite a few improvements in the 1956 322 giving it 255 horsepower over 55's 236. Compression ratio went from 9.0 in 55 to 9.5 in 56.

Some of the...

The gentleman's question remains to be answered...

Will the later (364-401-425) nailhead fuel pump work on a 55 264. :confused:

That is Buickful. So that's a '56 322? What did it come out of (series wise) and did you do anything else to it other than the carb. Those engines already have a nice cam in them. Are you...

There's a set of lowers on eBay right now. Also there was someone over on the 1954Buick.com forum talking about doing it if there was enough interest. I need a complete rear from the back window...

Ahh shucks, you can't include shippin in that. :D Shipping cross country would be a killer but I may be interested. do you have a bellhousing and flywheel.

Based solely on this post, I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but here are a few things to consider.

Dynaflows were different lengths in different years and series so that needs to be...

First, hooraaaaahhhhhh for you!!! for making the 322 your choice of engines for the '39.
If it's got a single cast crankshaft pulley on it, it is likely a 54-55 264 as 53's V-8 was a 322. Look on...

So you're looking for a standard shift flywheel, not a flexplate for an automatic right. How far are you from Athens, GA

See if you can find a fuel pump for a 1956-58 or so, 322 Chevrolet truck engine. They only had the fuel and not the vacuum for the wipers.

I'm not sure but I believe Willie aka 322bnh sent it to me a long time ago. If so he may have the book it was taken from. I think there is another similar copy floating around and I want to say Bill...

Is this a three on a tree or tree on a three......

A friend who writes hot rod magazine articles currently has my Ansen for an article reference, but as soon as I get it back, I'll post some pics.
