The only one I'm aware of was made by Chilton's, but is probably out of print now.

See if you can find a copy of a book by Stephen Dove, I think the title is "Guide to Buick Performance Engines".

Actually I don't know- he wrote that book several years ago (15-20 years?) but it is still considered one of the best technical resources for how to build Buick engines.

You could buy a shop manual. It would give you everything you need to know. You will find one by going to Books4cars. There is a link on the front page of the forum.
