Try here. You will need an adapter.

I think you just became the expert! :finish:

Edouard, how much power do you want from your 430? I had assumed it was to be a stock performance engine. With a stock rebuild your 430 would not need headers as that would not release enough...

He does more of the Nailhead stuff, but I bet he could steer you in the direction of a...

Welcome Devansh!
Street of Mumbai in a 74 Buick - that must be a sight to see. :bgrin:

Thanks for checking (

Hello Edouard
Here is my Wagon: 65 Special...

I installed a 455 into it a while back. There sere some complications for my swap -...

I think I have a extra one. They tend to be pretty brittle and will be hard to install. I've tried to call you...
Ted :jeez:

I think it is for controlling the vacuum doors on the air cleaner,
car is cold, vacuum applied and warm air feeds carb.

buickrodder is Russ Martin, if you call he has better pricing
Here is the part you need!:finish:

...

that sounds right. seems like TA has headers and motor mounts for your app, but be aware of possible header/clutch linkage problems.

Very nice! It looks cool low like that. :finish:

I need glasses! :jeez: These are numbers for the '65 model. Unfortunately I do not have the data for 66 LeSabres! I am sorry I read your post wrong.
Anybody out there with the #s for '66?

Yes, let me swing into action and get out my Daily Production Reports! (and reading glasses):jeez:
Codes W09 or A2-- A2 on the order sheet.

Hmm, listed @ daily production reports as A6...

Well, I'm all for trying the original to see...

I've got a Wildcat or 2 with the original radiator and they are PUNY compared to the recores I have had done. My 350 has had a little work done...

James, good swap and IMHO pretty easy. The th350 will use the same mounting and driveshaft. I think on my 65 I used the engine mounts from the 65 and they bolted right on the 350; then the engine...

The 65 Wildcat and 65 LeSabre had different wheelbases, all differences were forward of the firewall! you may have some trouble with the length of the nailhead vs a 300. The 64 Lesabre wagons were...

are all the rocker pedestal bolts the same? The factory bolts all have a smaller diameter shoulder so the oil can pass through the bolt hole when the bolt is in there.

just a thought!

I just found these- 66 mounts a little different-
btw Russ (buickrodder) knows his stuf

I like these guys, have experienced excellence for my 65 WIldcats.

Waldron’s Exhaust manufactures exhaust systems for cars and truck built from the early 1900’s through the 1980’s.

Yep.
I think I just bought a stroker kit for a nailhead.
Have to make another trip to the dyno soon :car:

One could remove the valve flap and shaft; tap the holes and plug. That gets the restriction all out of the way.
The spring is a thermostat that opens the valve when it gets warm.
The valve is...

Pretty accurate. When engine is cold, the exhaust is blocked on that side and forced to circulate through the manifold. There is a tube through that side that the air for the choke flows through...
