Jyrki,
I don't have the dimensions but if you have the dimensions as fractions post them and I will convert them for you.

Does anyone have the 320 bore spacing dimensions at hand? I live in a metric world, and I'm lost with the fractions

i'm not sure how i dug these up ( i also have the pitches for the Duesenburg Model A but not the J ), but this is what i have for the 320:
Piston
# spacing "
1 4.075 2 4.290 3 4.075 4 4.545 5 4.075 6 4.290 7 4.075 8
of course, 1" == 25.4 mm so
4.075" == 103.505mm
4.290" == 108.966mm
4.545" == 115.443mm

Jyrki, If you noticed, when Buick originally built the srtaight 8 it was designed so that they could use much of their 4 cyl. tooling. If you split that center space in the middle it is the size of two siamezed 4 cyl. heads. If somebody made some aluminum heads for the 350 Buick I think that you could massage them to work. The 64 300 heads could possibly work, too but may need some valve repositioning to get a little larger valve. Otherwize it's back to building a scratch head. Doug

ah, TA has already had Rover / 215 / 300 / 340 aluminums for sale? i don't see them in the catalog so i don't know if they only made a limited run, or what.

you know, i never thought about that. the SBB with 4.240" spacing is only 0.28" longer from cyl #1 to #4.
while we're on this subject, does anybody have the bore pitches for the 248 / 263? it seems silly that i don't have those.

it was?
and you know the pitches for these?
dude, pitch em too me. i'll build a wiki page for the earlier Straight 6's, 4's and 2's from early in Buick's history.

yeah, if you know the pitches for the straight 8s that would help as well. there's a ton of those in different displacements until the 320 and 248 took over.

avg bore spacing on 'one side' of the 320 is 4.14667".
Victory Library suggests maybe a Mopar head would be the closest fit:

Thanks, Bob, that might be worth looking into. Wonder if anybody makes an aluminum Poly head? Edelbrock? Doug

doesn't appear to be.
but why waste time with that anyways? the Poly guys throw Hemi heads on the Poly motors as is.

that's right, YOU could have a Buick Straight 8 Hemi!
