430 stage 1 ?

Is there such a thing as a 430 stage 1.
Reason I ask, is I bought some valve cover decals & I see that TA also sells them.

 

There is apparently a Stage 1 430, I don't have it, but that doesn’t stop me from using them

 

There are Buick factory parts listings for a 430 stage 1.

 

Likewise

 

Wait really? Is there an article or something about this?

 

Right in the factory parts books.

 

Did it have a special cam or similar upgrades? I’m sorry to sound clueless, but I’ve never heard of it and want to learn a bunch more

 

KenneBell had a 1967 GS400 that also tested a 430 in the day..I think they learned alot more on that one 430 as far as oiling issues than the 455's.

No luck with that link

 

Do you see the search google option when trying?
Search, "reynolds1915 blog spot search label lennie pop" and see if you get it?

 

Trying to get you here.. Tell me if you found it..

 

I do not think a 430 stage 1 short block has a part number assigned but some parts of an engine do.

This one link works..

 

The link above has some numbers..

 

I have the same decals.
They look good.
Do they hold up good to engine heat.

 

been several years and they still look new
