whats the deal with these as far as engine,rear end swaps what fits and what does not.It has a 6 in it now will the 350 or 455 fit?and what about rear end is it the same 8.5 10 bolt thanks scott
They did not come with the 8.5 rear end (only a 7.5) but the 8.5 out of another "G" body such as a Grand National is a direct bolt in. As far as the engine swaps, it has been said on this site that the 350 Buick will bolt up to the V6 mounts and most if not all accessories off the V6 engine will bolt on to the 350. A 455 will also fit but motor mounts as well as other stuff will have to be changed.
Scott I have been looking for one of those wagons. If you are not interested in it let me know where it is.:Brow: Bob H.
No I don't have one. I have watching CL but so far nothing close to me or in SoCal. Something should turn up sooner or later,:TU: Bob H.
I spotted this one on CL months ago. Very tempting but I'm really looking for a good tow wagon such as a Roadmaster. I almost stopped in to see it when I went down to the GS Nats in Bowling Green back in October but I didn't have time. It is just north of Nashville. Looks like they would be open to an offer and it could be worth the shipping charges. http://www.peggysautosales.com/vehicledetails.aspx?vid=103671219
My folks had a 1978 Chevy Malibu wagon like that Century when I was growing up. Had a 305 in it I think..
