    I have a ?. Is there any kind of buick race engine that you can run pump gasoline on? Does anyone on this board have one? I know that most race engines you have or build don't/can't run on it, but this is just a question that popped in my mind and I thought I should ask to see if anyone has a race engine that runs on pump gas.

    TIA

    Mr. John Stevens has a wicked wheel standing 455 powered Regal that runs deep in the 10's that runs pump gas. (quarter mile times, no NOS)
