I'm looking for one but never was a Red/ black fan. Looks like he's holding the vin tag to the firewall?
My guess was that he was using the old Wildcat torque numbers, like a 401 was a wildcat 425(because it had 425 ft lbs of torque). The 400 has 440 ft lbs of torque so using that method it was a Wildcat 440.:Smarty:But I could be wrong.......
For #'s matching I didn't see a star wars air cleaner, ribbed center caps, passenger side mirror looks different than the driver side and as mentioned above fan shroud. Only one GS400 emblem was shown in pics, still a very decent looking car.
I think that is a 340 engine. I feel confident that is not a big block Buick engine. Ant that is also why the small block fan shroud is on there. Only one heater hose comes to the front of the engine on a BBB, what say you guys? Mike
I think it might have the original engine but with 455 valve covers and an HEI distributer. Or maybe it's a 455, who knows? One thing for sure, it's not set up to look like a numbers matching, original engine bay. As far as the heater hose running to the front of the motor, that's how it was done on later BB's.
..also, by the looks of the steel fuel line AFTER the filter, it appears it might be a Chevy QJ with the feed line off to the side... not for certain, but I'm just sayin'.
