  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Another Buick Saved!

    Last week I responded to an online ad from a guy who was selling a '72 GS 350 ram air cleaner, and went to purchase it. When I asked if he had anything else Buick he stated that he did have a weird Buick sitting in the trees. We went out and he showed me his '79 Lesabre Turbo Sport Coupe, ran two years ago, and complete. The price was right, and I couldn't let it lay there to die, so I brought it home today. It alway feels good to get another one in the stable. That's my five year old son Gavin by the car... he's already convinced that Buick's rule.

    these are neat cars, too bad the carbed turbo cars are such poor performers but I bet with a 84-85 hotair plant in it she'd scoot along rather snappy or take the big plunge and drop in a 86-87 intercooled setup.
    The cool thing is that you have the good shortblock with the really good crank

    This is my first trip into Turbo territory, I've been sticking to the big blocks for the most part. I think I've come to the point in my Buick addiction, where almost any Buick gets a second look. I'm sure in eleven years my son Gavin will be the only one on the block with a turbo Lesabre. It's been a good Buick hunting month, my brother just found a '67 GS 400 Convertible with an original 3spd on the floor. After some looking we found it was one of nine produced!:TU: We're still trying to come together on a price:spank: .
