    Are you going back? Could you check out the inner fender passengers side and core support in the 69 skylark? Mine are rusted beyond repair.

    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    If I were you, I would go get all 455 engines. I would get the short blocks from the 76 models, and the whole 71 set-up. The Buick 455s are getting next to impossible to find here in FL. Local u-wrench-it yards have not had any last year, there are 4 of them in my area. You can easily resell the 455 short blocks since they are in demand and no new ones are available. Good Luck!

    Yeah you are right...:(

    Didn't think that I would take off into the Buick 455 like I have. I may just go there tomorrow and buy an engine.. just in case:Brow:


    I will check on the inner fender passenger side and the core support for you.
