I think we should start a thread on all of the Boosted Buicks. There are not a lot of us yet but we are seeing more all the time. A central location with what we have done could be helpful to all. Listed so far turbo 455-2 supercharged 455-7 (2 race only, the others street driven) turbo 350-2 671 nitro blown nailhead! -1 so way cool I can't stand it. supercharged 370-1 supercharged 340 -1 supercharged 215-1 turbo 401-1 single turbo rear mount Added a table in word to keep track. Let me know what changes are needed.
Dougs BBB procharged Skylark Guess I should be first since I started the thread. 70 Skylark 455 forged pistons, Cometic gaskets with ARP studs 9.5:1 compression TA 413 Cam SP-1 intake, ported stage 1 irons QuickFuel 650 BAN Postons girdled oil pan Procharger D-1 home made brackets 6 inch crank pulley 4 inch blower pulley 5PSI@5000 rpm intercooled SX fuel pump -8AN feed -10 AN return RobbMC regulator 32 degrees total timing with -1.5 degrees per pound of boost. I do not think the TA 413 is the best cam for blower. Will be working on that. What else do we want to know?

ok I will do these one at a time. first one 535 cu. 8.00 to 1 compression mopar crank custom fit r&r aluminum rods wiscoe custom pistons stage three heads done by FLM sp2 intake cam is a FLM custom blower cam flat tappet from compition components ta front cover rollmaster timing chain quick fuel e-85 carb 850cfm f1-r pro-charger we have run this combo on 93 octane as well as the e-85. the e-85 combo is still being snuck up on since we never dynoed with it on the motor. this combo is in a tube chassis regal with the drive on board and half a fuel tank worth of fuel it scaled 2650lbs. we have run 8.24 @ 164 on 93 octane with 12lbs of boost and so far we have run 8.30 @ 163 with a really safe and soft tune up in it we had hoped to turn it up in Osceola but broke the tranny when we started turning up the power. We should be ready to let it rip in BG
Ok number two. this is a 464 cu. stock block 8.5 to 1 stock crank widen for Chevy rods R&R aluminum rods wiscoe pro tru dished pistons custom blower FLM solid flat tappet cam from compition components Pro_-form front cover rollmaster timing oiling lifters stage 4 heads with very little work done to them Indy mopar intake csu gas carb 850cfm custom air to air intercooler scavenger oiling system f-2 pro-charger with 16 lbs of boost the car is a stock suspension 25.5 certed 72 stage one car it weighs in at 3740LBS with the driver. This car has run 8.80 @154.50 still working on getting the sixty foots settled down. I run mt drag radials on this car I think with a little work we can maybe get some 8.70 out of it at BG. this short block has all the stuff done to it but is all used parts except the cam and lifters. Not real sure how long it will last but with out a good block I hate to spend very much building anything right now. post the small block combo later
Count me too! '70 Skylark, 455 w/P1 procharger, T/A 413 cam, stage 1 heads. :beer Gets lots of attention, everyone expects a Chevy under the hood. ALL Buick:bla: Will have it at the GS nats if all goes well.
can you guys describe what you did to adapt your supercharger? Like info on your brackets, oil feed line, crank pulley, relocated ps, etc. I am planning to go boosted eventually (just have to get other things in line first like the drive train) but I already have a Novi 2000 that I plan to use. I'd like to make some of these parts myself for fun. Ps..if this doesn't go here let me know and I'll start another thread.
Steve, What else are you running with that? carb, amount of boost, etc How does yours work with the 413?
Doug, It is a holly 850 blow through from what I have been told. I bought the car with all the parts installed. Runs good. May be a bit too big of a carb from what I have read. Not 100% on the 413. Idles awesome(racecar like) and seems to run good on the street. Not sure about full boost yet. Have not truely run it hard yet. 4"pulley. Maybe 10lbs? Still learning:TU:
Me also, So far I have gotten: That thing have a gear drive ? alternator going out ? water pump going out ? air conditioner belt sliping ? Have had my hotel room reserved since Feburay.
