Thread: Early Buick Bore Spacing

  1. #1

    Early Buick Bore Spacing

    once Jyrki made his request, it occurred to me that there didn't seem to be a good repository or source for the old Buick engines. i mean, you can go to Carnut to get the raw bore x stroke dimensions, but there's a lot of other interesting info that they don't include.

    so, i figured i'd start a thread where anybody who has any of these specs for the old engines can post them.

    i've got the 320 pitch and some info for a Duesenberg. i'd love it if anybody would post the info for some of these other engines.

    Thanks,
    I have added the 263 to the reference: http://www.teambuick.com/reference/b...gine_specs.php

    You can see some of the other specifications that would be nice to add near the bottom of the page.

    It is just the distance between the center of each bore.

    263 Block hole locations

    I've attached the 263 hole locations reference off the corner defined by the 3 locating bosses on the side of block and the front of the block.
    Handy if anyone wants to make a torque plate.
