Thanks Paul, Bob, and everyone for your thoughts on this!

Hey, I hooked, it would take a very desperate situation to make me give up on a Buick drivetrain.



Thanks Paul for all these...

Thanks Team Buick members for all your interesting replies,

Certainly a lot to think about here.



I just got off the phone with them as well. All I ever imagined is that they had some...

Hi Bobc455,

Thanks for sharing your experiences. The very reason I brought all of this up was to get a sanity check on what I found in the TA-Performance catalog.



Hey, I have to be...

Dear WildKitty and pmuller9,

Thanks for replying. I'm still doing more "shopping around" for ideas than anything else. I just came back from the body shop and the car isn't going to be...

Dear Team-Buick Members,

Help! I've been browsing through my TA-Performance catalog again! ;)

Seriously, one lead provided by a member of the "Team Buick Brotherhood" was to look into...

Dear small-block Buick fans, :shield:



For those who like to "sneak a peak" at a companies product line before jumping on the phone, D&D has a website: http://www.aluminumv8.com/. They are...

Hi Butch (aka WildKitty)!

Glad to hear that your 300 has come back to life! :thumbsup:



Groan . . . . you bring back bad memories of tuning the car da'hard way! :clonk:Around 1980, I just...

Hi WildKitty and thanks,



I sure am surprised that there isn't some sort of a process that has been developed for this. In my far reaching Google searches on this question I found forums for...

Dear carmantx and pmuller9,

*Sigh* . . . just when I thought I had decided what I wanted to do! :confused:



That's the direction I was leaning towards. The Buick 300 with the cast-iron...

Dear Team Buick :shield:

Cruising around the Internet, I found one example of a 1965 Buick Special Wagon being used to do some extreme towing. It is the 455 equipped wagon that in the...

Dear 39CENT,

Thanks for putting all the good information here into context!



Certainly important words to live by! I'm definitely inclined to be conservative. I don't intend to this sort...

Dear Kyng,



I'm new around here too and you'll find that there is so much activity that you may not get noticed without asking some more specific questions. A great thing to do is take...

Hi suede48,



Well I'm a new guy around here too, but I'll offer you a hearty welcome to Team Buick! :shield:

It is largely a crowd of visitors to this website (at least it seems to me.) ...

Hello Buick owner downunder! :shield:



I've only vaguely looked into adding A/C on my 65 Buick and got discouraged. :clonk: However, at least one resource to check on (if you haven't already)...

Dear Jamie,



You don't say . . . . . :bgrin: Ya'know . . . I might even know the fellow who ended up with that NOS emblem. :D



One down, now just one to go!

Dear troys66, njlimbaugh, and Rivman,

Thanks so much for your respective feedback. Golly it seems surprising that an industry hasn't sprung up to make this sort of replating practical. However,...

Hi Carmantx,

Thanks for providing me with another bit of consistent info.



What you are saying isn't just a matter of personal experience. The 300 cid V8 in the car was only built for 2...

Dear carmantx,

Thanks for responding! :)



Okay, that's a good enough recommendation for me to try to figure out . . . . exactly how do you get stuff out of a public library anymore?? :bgrin:...

Dear Team Buick members,

I'm trying to restore a 1965 Buick Special that got victimized by one of them "modern distracted drivers." :rolleyes: Alas, the Special isn't as popular as the Skylark...

Dear Buick performance enthusiasts, :shield:

Guess what, all this talk about performance enhancement is infectious . . . . . (surprise, surprise! :bgrin:)

However, not everyone has all the...

Hi DocModisett Ted, and Buick fans, :shield:

Thanks DocModisett for your review and thoughts of putting in a 401 Nailhead in a 1965 Buick Special. I'm a newbie to all this, but I can already...

Hi DocModisett and Buick fans, :shield:

Decisions . . . decisions . . . .



Well, I'm trying to dance between something of these two extremes. I grew up with the 300 cid V8. So I know...

Thanks "Dr. FrankenBuick" ! :shield:



Let me indeed second that suggestion! Surfing the web has the hazard of dredging as much bad information as good. When in doubt, go back to the Team...

Dear Steve (Dr. FrankenBuick), BigRivy, and all, :thumbsup:

Thanks so much for some short but incredibly important comments! Indeed, I now have some much clearer choices and a practical path to...

Dear Tom,



Thanks for your feedback. My inexperience is showing, as I had hoped it wasn't that drastic an operation. Golly, you are making up my mind in a hurry!



I may be just as sorry...
