Hi everone I have a web site all about my Riviera and all kinds of pictures I have had a few people ask me if I could post people's Riviera's I thought that would be a great idea so if you dont mind I would like to post pictures of your Riviera's all you need to do is reply with a picture of your car thanks
Who do you mean ? Dale or me ? I don't know what Dale means by that, but at this photo your engine looks like a Buick, and not a Chevrolet 454:
The engine is from a buick I just want to know If I can use picture's of Riviera's other then mine to put on my site I dont want to just take the pictures and post them on my site
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.
Thanks for the info not to sure how anyone thought that I needed to know about the engine but it has brought up alot of good points when I clean up the car in a few weeks I will let everone know what it is
71 riv picture http://home.comcast.net/~avesta/ here is ome picture of my 71 riviera when i bought it .I,m slowly working on it slowly due to lack of money.
Hi boattail can you point out on my web site where I said that it was a Chevrolet 454 are did I just put a 454 big block :3gears: thanks kia I will add your car
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........ ou: That's what I like about this board: you learn something new every day !! Keep up the good work :TU:
