Herb, I guess I'll step aside to see if anyone else needs it more than I do. I still want it, but don't have a car ready for a motor like that, and hate to buy it and let it sit around for a few years until the car is ready. It was great talking to you, and when I'm ready I will most definitely consult with you before I build something. :TU:
It's a 464 with a modified front cover to accept the scavenger oil system, the pan is a custom finishline piece that is sumped and baffled.
Herb, I'm on it. Thanks for your time on the phone today. I'll have an answer in just a few days, yea or nay. I suspect you will be digging out and waiting for power to be restored until Monday anyway! I hope you get through the storm OK. Jim Pflepsen; Machinefarmer
I'll spray the thing if I have to! Really would hate to drive over the crank though.......... Do you have a flow sheet for the heads???? Put me in line as well. Dave
Now your starting to sound like Massoud ---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ---------- I hope Jim aka Machinefarmer is ok. I have been unable to get in touch with him via the board or phone. I will give him until this afternoon to reply and then I will move down the list.
Still haven't heard from Jim, Jaybird your up let me know if you want the whole thing or just the shortblock. Tuna your next on the heads. To the others that pmed me post your interest here so there are no issues. Thanks Herb
Im more interested in the topend.They would work great on the 523 that i got from John.And i would be doing the Buick community a favor, By not letting Tuna getting a hold of them.He cleaned up in the 16 last year.If he gets these heads he might be unstoppable.Maybe we can work something out.PM sent.
Hater gonna hate! More power would probably screw up the deadly consistency of the car anyway..........
Ok Tuna ,you win the heads are yours if you want them.Just busting your balls.Maybe this year you won't need a tailwind to get you into the 16.Hey at least you make it in somtimes and win
Jay, should I apply the paypal payment you sent to the shortblock or do you want a refund to your account?
