A '48 Roadmaster engine would be a 320, which I believe is about 4" longer than a 248 so you'd be looking at some firewall modification, maybe the trans hump as well. Not impossible, it's been done...

What? Really, you guys never heard of this?
I grew up in Massachusetts but have lived in other parts of the East Coast and this was THE game you played riding in the car or on the school bus. It...
Wondering if anybody else here knows the official rules for the driving game "Punchbuggy". My daughter and I have argued several key point regarding this game. Here are the rules as I remember...
Done, Jenz...here's a photo of a '41 Buick with the parking lamps on the fender for comparison with the prototype '51's lamps.
I noticed that as well...looked like '41 style parking lights as opposed to the longer '49 style. I wanted to replicate this look on my '51 and use the parking light bullets as fog lights, plus I...
Looks great! It's a pain bringing them back from the dead, but it's a whole new ballgame when you actually get to drive the damn thing! I'm sure that thing is a blast to drive too.
I've never heard anything bad about them...they are pretty scarce and polish up real nice as well. I think they're set up to use coolant to heat them if you want. Nice find!
Jenz,
Yes the storm problems are over, buying new house up north this summer. Starting to work on the Buick, need to find a good machinist in the area. Cleaning a LOT of mud out of my...
I'd think a rebuildable damper/balancer wouldn't be hard too find on eBay...I'm not sure if using one designed for a different engine/crank is the best choice, especially one with such different...
Dual exhaust was never an option for the 1950 320, but it was for 1941 and 1942...both years also had "Compound Carburation"; 2 carbs/plenums, 2 heat risers, 2 exhaust flanges. But I believe they...
1951 and 1952 grills interchange just fine, I put a '52 grill on my '51 with no problems. But a Special's grill/grill bar/bumper etc. won't fit a Super although a Roadmaster's will. Both the Super...
Expensive as hell...but slick!

Welcome...I'm out here too, took my kids trick or treating on Halloween in 2 feet of snow. That was crazy.
There are quite a few old Buick kicking around these hill-towns.
It's been a long time since I've done it but if I recall correctly there is a rectangular plate that slides from front to back held into runners on the inside of the door. It has like keyhole-shaped...
It's a 1950 Super or Special...can't mistake that grill. Looks like it's just beginning to go to seed. I'd check the trunk corners, rockers, and front floor/toeboards and see how bad off they are. If...
Ha ha, it's not mine...just a couple of photos I found while trying to get ideas for a supercharger bracket. More here:

Good luck!
Here's a photo I posted a while back for somebody else...you're going to have to get creative as far as ductwork goes. There's always that big ol' speaker grill for the outlet, maybe move the radio...
I have a 1952 horn button with the "Power Steering" lettering that has zero flaking or crazing BUT has a couple of very slight scratches and one deep one on the face. Anybody have any experience...
Here's a couple of good resources for the transmission conversion etc...

You know, it happens...we were in the wrong house at the wrong time. At the moment I'm trying to formulate a plan to get the car out of there! Unfortunately the guy that owns the building where my...
Still here...ol' Hurricane Irene took my house and all of my belongings (see my post in Idle Chat for some photos). My Buick got flooded up to the windows, I've been airing it out but it's full of...
Yeah everybody's okay...that's the important thing. I was able to pull some of my daughter's stuffed animals out yesterday and our neighbors are pulling things out of the river for us when they find...
I'll answer my own question...

Anybody else from the New England area getting prepared for Sunday?
