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

    462CID Buick newbie since '89

    Very occasioanlly.

    Car Craft did a nice GM engine shootout a couple years ago, to see which of the GM big blocks available in muscle cars was HP King. The Buick 455 won:Brow:

    They also did a series called "Americruise" in the late '80s, I think, That featured Buicks GSs, and they actually did that part of the cruise in a '70 GSX. I seem to recall the GSX parked in a parking lot full of Grand Nationals outside the assembly plant in one photo.

    I had a few MuscleCars mags that had some GSs, one was a very nice GS Sun Coupe. that must have been around '94.

    I wish that Buicks could have a mag like the "mopar Action' type mags. I have a friend who's a Mopar nut and I've seen those mags, very well done and just packed with info.

    One of the magazines did a 455 into a Buick Special Wagon (or something alone those lines) a while back. I've been looking for the article but can't remember what month or what magazine, it was either Car Craft or Hot Rod (Hot Rod is what I'm thinking).

    Car ended up running 14's on a stock (not even rebuilt) 455 from 73 (I think).

    The best Buick "magazine" is the BPG's own "Buildsheet" newsletter! Quarterly publication with great color and b&w pictures, and great articles. If you're not a member, check it out at www.buickperformancegroup.com

    The Build Sheet (thankfully) is published bi-monthly, not quarterly.

    Two additional annual issues :TU:
