I agree bruno, what's everyone up to????

Actually, I have read, and re-read, the Alleycat posts several times. Even posted some questions I had from it on my pistons, pistons, pistons thread. I like what he has done and want to do something...

Ok, I was re-reading the anything new from the str8 rodders forum and sa this post from Alleycat from sometime back. Now I have a couple questions. "By now, you're about ''enough...

I love the look of the car. It is in that in between era. Fat fenders before it and box after it. I love the look of that str8. You asked me some questions, so here are the brutally honest answers....

So, the question is, what differences will it make when we replace pistons to go not stock? When I say not stock, I mean anything across the spectrum. For instance, my stock 1950 248 has domed...

That has to be the most awesome valve cover I have ever seen!!!!!!!!! I would love to have one like that when my engine rebuild is finished!!!!!!

I have seen some really interesting applications for Nitrous. For instance www.holley.com/05090NOS.asp. It is a hidden "top shot" nitrous delivery that hides inside the air cleaner. I am wondering if...

I plan on it!!!! Always looking for technical advice. I know what I want, I just am lacking on the how to get it part. That is why I have waited so long to build the engine. I have some ideas set in...

Haven't seen many updates lately. Anyone working on anything to hop up a str8? I am in the middle of a ground up resto on my 1950 Special. Body shop welding in new floor pans, whole front end done,...

Any chance you could message me pictures and prices if still available? Thanks, Brian

After many experienced people have all recommended, I am looking for a 1956 Buick Dynaflow Transmission. I have a 1950 with Dynaflow and most have suggested the 1956 twin turbine model with a 1953...

Email was received. Thank you.

Thank you for the help with identification and the offer to pass on missing parts information. I tried to PM, but it said you had reached your quota and would not let me send it. My name is Brian and...

I know it has been a while, but I am sending my 1950 Special to the body shop on Monday. The guy is good and while the body is finished, he is also going to strip and powdercoat the frame for me. I...

After inventorying all the parts and extras in the boxes that came with my car, it seems I am short the front and rear bumper guards. I love the look of these hulkng pieces of steel, so would like to...

I have taken a couple pictures of parts that came with my car that I cannot identify due to ridiculous inexperience. What do you guys...

OK. Now that makes more sense. The engine is supposed to be a 248, so now that I know it is a 1950 engine, I am going to make sure it is the 248 and not a different engine. I am going to try a VIN...

I bought a 1950 Buick Special, 41D. I checked the stamped numbers between the distributor and the motor mount, and it does not match any numbers listed in the reference section. Could this be a...

I have decided to stay with all the original equipment. It is all factory original from 1950 with numbers matching. If it were not, I would upgrade the heck out of it. Since it is all here and...

If I can comfortably drive 70 and only need to kick it in occasionally, I probably could live with that. I was just under the assumption that 55 - 60 was where I could expect this. So, I figured if I...

I was told I could get the 3.60-1. Sounds like what I was told. I was also informed by the transmission people that if I build the engine up closer to 180 - 200 h.p. that the tranny would perform...

The car is a 1950 Buick Special, 4-door, Deluxe tour back sedan. It has the Dynaflow transmission and 248 Str8. I was told the rear end gears were very tall and not great for daily driving. That's...

First, let me thank everyone who has posted information on this site and thread. I ended up taking a promotion and a transfer from my last job and it totally stopped my progress on my old Buick. At...

Reckless, I really appreciate the info you posted about the disc brake conversion. I have been struggling with finding a conversion, not trusting those drums on modern roads. Keep your posts...
