    Hey everybody. I was wondering if there are any known Buick engine builders in Florida? I currently live in Missouri but am getting ready to move to Florida. I have a 74 455 that I would like professionally rebuilt but I am scared to take it to any old engine builder since I have read many of the threads on here stating that they are much different than your normal Chevy rebuild. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

    I specialize in Buicks and am in SoFla. I do mostly Nailheads, but I know my way around 455's, as well. I can provide references upon request. Where in Florida are you headed?

    A truly good builder/machinist can build anything, no matter the make. But Mike at Wildcat Engines in Valdosta GA and Scotty G in Spring Hill FL are two "Buick" builders

    ..what Hugger said. Mike at Wildcat just finished up my 494 and just been absolutely phenomenal to work with. (His shop is now in Moultrie, GA). I have not worked with Scotty G although I do know a number of folks that will speak volumes about the work he does. Both of them have significant experience with our 455s.
