New Product Update

Discussion in 'News and Information' started by TABuickMike, Nov 5, 2018.

    Hi all, here's a quick update on new products coming soon:

    • We're reproducing the early 1 piece dipstick design for the big block engines.
    • We're reproducing the V6 timing cover timing indicator tab. It will be a steel design like our 350 timing indicator.
    • We're reproducing the 350/455 crankshaft oil slinger.
    • 350 heads. The first production run was ordered and should be here by the end of the year. I'm working on porting a set for my car and will post updates in the 350 section.
    • Stage 6 heads. We're looking into the most viable option to have the heads machined.
    There are other items in the works that we aren't ready to announce yet.

    Thanks for your support!

    Will the 1 piece dipstick be able to be used with the Stage 2 heads without any modifications?

    What about the Kenne Bell valve covers when will you fellas have them available you reckon?
     
  5. TABuickMike

    TABuickMike Michael Tomaszewski Jr

    It is close. The dipstick relief in the heads might need to be relieved further at the bottom.; we couldn't get it to seal completely to the block on an engine that we have here because that relief isn't big enough. We'll change the heads from here on forward to work with it, but existing heads might need to modified slightly.

    Don't have a date, but we're going to place an order to have castings made.

    Any option to have these valve covers but without any aftermarket logo? Maybe a relieved area to put an early OEM sticker in, or a cast OEM-looking Buick logo?

    Like dad said we have 2-3 sets of original, NOS, brand new, never used Satin 400-430-455 Kenne-Bell valve covers. I'm asking $500 a set, but am accepting offers. Used ones are selling for $600+ on eBay.

    I realize this is probably not the place to indicate I want to purchase items, but I just want to be in line to buy the Kenne - Bell valve covers. I want two sets. I will call the shop in the morning to follow up as to price and shipping.
    Thanks,
    Nick
