455 Buick Performance Drive line

Runs 11.32 @ 3800 pounds @ 2000 feet DA, would make an excellent street engine. I would like to sell the whole drive train. 4500.00 719 650-1609

Thanks!

 

So, what is the location? and - what's light weight about a T-400 trans?

Thanks, Matt

 

Share the specifics of this 9.1 compression engine that runs 11.30s, im intrigued

 

Matt, The engine is in Colorado Springs, the Turbo 400 has lightweight internal parts, (drums), this engine is complete from the fan to trans tailshaft, carb to pan drive line with the headers and ignition, this is a professionally built blueprinted engine with very little time on it, actually its still in the car, seeing what it costs to rebuild one of the 455 this is an excellent opurtunity for someone get into not only a very well done engine but the complete drive train.

Thanks for your answer. The deal sounds like a good one. I think shipping would put it out of my grasp.

Matt

 

Blueprinted stock 455, Comp valve train, .398 lift cam, Venolia 71 stock replacement pistons, the runs were made in the summer in the midwest, so there should be some more left in there. I don't know much more about it. I do know based on performance your looking at about 470 crankshaft corrected HP.

 

How much weight is added to the box to put it at 3800lbs, looks alot like Lynn Smith's car

 

My understanding from Lyn himself was the car could run anywhere between 3400 and 3800, I believe this video was taken in G/SA trim @ 3800, anyway a nice deal for someone............to answer your question, several hundred pounds I would imagine.

 

Yea it is a super fair price, that trans alone has over 2k in hard parts alone, that car has always been a hard runner

 

Nice to hear that, tell your friends!

 

What are your plans for the car after you sell the drive train?

 

Anything happen to Lyn? I have a buick friend asking.

 

shipping would put it out of my price I think

 

Im not sure you really want to know that. LOL

 

You are probably right.

 

Any ideas how much would it run to ship the drivetrain to Florida, zip 34711?

 

Hopefully not destroy it with a chebby drivetrain !

 

I actually drove it today, when the secondaries opened and the converter wound up it was on the shift light instantly, pretty neat. BTW shipping a engine and trans to Florida would run about 500.00, and when you consider the whole drive train came with it, that a heck of a deal. I have no problem putting the 455 on the dyno for a in person buyer.
