I need to know how to identify one block from another. Iam going to start looking for a block to build. Iam new to the Buick world and this will be my first Buick build. Suggestions on which block to build? Also what would be a good set of heads? How do I identify them? and what years to look for? Is there a web site with all this info? This would be a street/strip Skylark. any thoughts/ideas/info would be great,Dave
Dave Here are several web sites that may help you ID more than just the block: To decode VINs: http://user.dtcc.edu/~rod/buick/buickvin.html Numbers for Heads, Blocks and Intakes: http://www.atlantabuick.com/CastingNumbers.htm General Buick Tips: http://www.rowand.net/Shop/Tech/index.htm And once you get your car: http://www.buickpartsdirectory.com/all_links.htm HTH Craig
