Hi Ants ....Welcome to the Only board you'll ever need !! We're a friendly bunch and appreciate at least signing your posts with your first name You have a host of options from the earlier 300's and and 401 Nialheads ....All the way up to what a friend of mine has - a 494" Stroked TorqueMonster making over 700HP !!! Thats one Mean '64 !! You'll have to fabricate a bit to make things work but there's enough knowledge amongst this board to shoehorn a Few V8's into your car Search around and read a while Welcome.....
Hi Alan, Thanks for the warm welcome and suggestions, much appreciated! Can't wait to get started. I only wish my wallet matched my enthusiasum. Jim L.
I donated my original 350 to my buddy's '64 Skylark and it was a blast, until he blew a con rod out the side of the block. Told him to look at the bottom end....I didn't ask him what he had to do, but I just may bump into him this weekend and I'll ask him if I see him.
I know this is "www.v8.buick.com," but have you considered an 86-87 turbo v6? You have the mounts all ready! Mark
