Hello everyone, new to this forum and Buicks. Several months ago picked up a 66 Skylark roller, clean body, fresh plum crazy purple paint, 10 point roll cage, race seats and set up with chute, 12 bolt rear end and moser axles. Not much else, guy bought from was setting up for 8 second car, so he said. Have picked up an 800 hp 454 engine long block complete for it, though need another 10 k to complete, so on hold at the moment.
The guy I bought from had a co worker with a 66 special, 73 455 rebuilt, 400 trans rebuilt, a couple of front clips, snorkel hood and all the interior parts for the purple 66. So I bought it for 3200.
Right now I am working on the special to see if worth keeping or selling.
I am having questions on a new radiator, guessing 2 row aluminum, 16" , 2500 rpm electric fan. Wondering if you guys might have some valued insight. Stock 455 offenhauser intake, edelbrock 750, hooker competition headers. Thanks in advance for your help.
