From that era Olds/Buick/Pontiac/Chevy are all different motors. No real interchangeability in parts. I say stick to the Buick motors. Maybe you wait a bit to find one, but you will find one.
Man that means there are other buyers out there COMBING for these. I may be wrong but I thought Buick engines were the black sheep of the GM v8s. Tell these people to go buy a chevy so we can get our hands on them!
I found a 1969 430 on Ebay, are those any good? Anyone know if they are as "drop in" friendly as the 350 and 455?
That fresno motor looks very clean. I’ll hit him up asap thanks! The hard part is shipping. How am I going to get that thing down to LA
The 430 guy said he would deliver for me. It’s rebuilt with a cam, edelbrock intake and carb. No exhaust. My mechanic is concerned the performance mods would be too much power for my brakes and it would only get like 5 mpg. That made me also concerned as this is my daily driver and anything under 10 is pushing it.
I do not have a garage. My mechanic has been with me for years, he knows his ****. My v6 gets 15 on a bad day. Too choppy of a cam can stop vacuum boosted brakes from working properly. Thanks for your help
