New Twin Turbo Big Block Buick Build

I know. It killed me to pull off both, but when I weighed how often it gets too hot or cold in San Diego and where the hell I was going to put everything with stock ac and power steering in place, that is when a reality check came in. It still has all steel panels and front and back seats though so it is kind of like a daily driver.

 

Cool car!!!:3gears:

 

Love to see a picture of the car with the hood down. I was thinking of cutting my hood like that to fit my ev carb hat and csu carb.

WOW, you are nuts!!! AWESOME work.

 

That is awesome! great color too.

 

Once you get to this level , a 17k long block doesn't sound so bad, because an all aluminum Dart BBC would probably be close to that .

 

17K STOCK BLOCK longblock. Big difference. In my opinion T/A is really missing the mark by not releasing their block in iron. Casting it in aluminum is not necessary for the average enthusiast.

$6000 in aluminum = limited buyers and market
$3350 in iron = lots of sales to the serious Buick racer

 

Dart aluminum BBC block is 5K , and I hear you get what you pay for compared to the cheaper made World Products aluminum BBC. I see what you are saying, but if given the option, and I had worked my way to this higher level, I would pay the extra $2650 for the lighter weight repairable aluminum piece anyways. Its all a day dream for me though.

 

I got a couple of pics today.

 

Updates? I see on the py board you guys ran into some trouble. Very strange stuff. Interested in see what cause it.

Hope the fix is an easy one! Regards

 

What was your stainless source to build the exhaust manifolds?
