hI ALL STILL NEW TO ALL THIS BUT I HAVE A ? i HAVE A 1971 BUICK WITH A 350 V8 is this the same as a chev 350 v8 ? I was looking on ebay for some parts to hop up the motor but I do not know if this is the same stuff or is it way off some one told me that it would work or some stuff will work ? just looking for some help thanks ( intake carb cam and on and on thanks
Perhaps a few bolts or somenthing will interchange but no real parts. Buicks had their own design. I am excluding incidentals like alternators, voltage regulators etc. In general the same is true for sheet metal on A bodies except fot the deck lid.
As Jim says, VERY little will interchange, maybe just a couple accessory type items. Go to www.taperformance.com or www.postonbuick.com for performance stuff for a sbb. And welcome to the board!
well thanks for all the help I was shocked that I got a fast post back . Ebay did not have much is that normal ? thanks
You'll probably have better luck buying stuff on here, than on Ebay. Many high-performance parts (a 4-bbl manifold, for example) will probably only be available new from vendors like Dave suggested. -Bob Cunningham
You won't find much performance stuff for the 350 on ebay. Post your needs on the parts wanted forum here, or check out the vendors for new stuff. TA has a nice 350 aluminum intake, I think Poston does too, and both offer headers, cams, etc.
thanks for all the help. DO you like my boat ha ha ha I work at a car lot and it was a trade in. My boss told me I can have it if I got it out of thear by the end of the day so I paid $50.00 buck's for it and $136.00 to put it on the road and drove it home and the ac works
The Buick 350 is a better engine than the Chevy anyway. Much more torque at a lower RPM. Aftermarket parts are in limited supply, however they are out there.
I would rather have a Buick 350 because, everyone and their mothers have had at least 2 chevy 350's. Plus the longer Bore suites me just fine.
no i do not have eney unphotoshopped i will have to get some and show you all thanks for all the help
no, the buick and chevy v8's are different. I called jegs and asked them if an overhaul kit for a chevy 350 would fit on the buick 350, and he said they aren't the same engine. something is different, but i don't know what it is
