Who do you mean ?

Dale or me ?


1970

I don't know what Dale means by that, but at this photo your engine looks like a Buick, and not a Chevrolet 454:

Okay Joshua,

But there was no 454 Buick engine, so you better change that in your text mate.
You had me thinking that you swapped the old 430 for a Chebby mill :ball:

ok now you have me thinking
I will have to go back and read all sheets on the motor and find out what happened
the guy who but the motor in had it in his 69 buick skylark we had it rebuilt(so I was told anyway ) and then put into are car
thanks for telling this to me

I think Dale tried to upload a photo of his 1970 Riviera, but all I saw was 1970....maybe something went wrong there and that's the reason why his post is now deleted by him.

About your engine: it looks like a big block to me, looking at posistion of the bolt in the valve cover, but where is your oil filler cap ?

And I'm sure that donor Skylark didn't came original with a 430 or 455, so maybe this is a 400 engine ?

all man that bites I will have to find out as soon as I can right now the car is about 80 kms away from me so I can not get to it right now if I look at the motor is there anything that will tell me for 100% what it is

Sorry about the confusion guys.
I first posted without uploading my photo, Then went back and uploaded the photo, but it was too big for the board.
So, I quickly deleted my post.
I'll try later from home.

The filler cap is in the center of the valve cover...looks to be a 75 or 76 vintage valve cover.

You're saying on your website that the car has a Chevrolet 454 engine, so that's why :TU:

I'm sorry mate, I forgot about the Olds, Buick, Plymouth and Lincoln 454 engines, for a moment I thought that the only well known factory 454 was built by Chevrolet........ :Dou:

That's what I like about this board: you learn something new every day !!

Keep up the good work :TU:

Well,

The all new front wheel drive model year 1979 Riviera was there also as the S-Type model, with the Turbo 6.
(although I also know about a few V8 S-Types)

Model year 1980 also had a S-Type Riv next to the base Riviera, and for 1981 this name was changed into T-Type, all the way up to model year 1986.
1987, and a few years up, saw a T-Type option package instead of the T-Type model name. :TU:

I used Photoshop 7.0 on that one, but I also have CS2.

Copying software is illegal. Talking about it publicly on V8Buick can get the board in trouble. :grin:
