    Hey guy, new guy here.

    On my way to my first Buick ever that wasn't a thin skinned turbo car.

    Basically what I am doing is taking a V code 72 that is COMPLETELY rusted out and throwing everything into a 70 Roller that I just picked up.

    The 72 has the original WS engine with a ton of older Poston stuff on it and the reciept for the rebuild calls out a 498 stroker. I know how to build a 496 BBC, so not sure how they got there with a Buford.

    She runs good but every time you hit a bump, your feet get covered with rust chips. No floor, no trunk, no firewall, no fenders, no lower doors, and quarters are shot.

    Only thing I know about the 70 is that the body is incredible. Id say 99% metal in the car. But just a roller. It has a Chevy 12 bolt in it which I can use on something else.

    Both are Flint cars and both are convertibles.

    I'll try to keep my questions common sense, and I mean try.

    I won't ask what is faster, a Stage 1 or a Hemi. I'll let you know.

    I'll get pictures figured out quick.

    So what body style is the 70 roller? You posted a pic of a Mopar which is cool and I dont have a problem with putting a BBB into it.

    Both are convertibles. Not putting the Chevy in the 70. Swapping everything except dash into the 70 from the 72.
    The 67 GTX is a J code Hemi car. Might not put the Buick in it.

    Welcome to v8buick!

    Is the '72 a Skylark?

    Where are you from?

    I might be interested in what's left of the '72 and haul it away for you if its a Skylark is you're in Michigan or close?

    I'm in MAGA Country. West Palm Beach.

    The 72 Vert has a good frame, good interior, and nice trim. Even the GS hood is roached on the thing.
