uzzled: I have a small 8 cyl nailhead i forget the CID. Was it a 301 or 310? But anyway what is the exact name of like the green blue kinda color that the engines are painted? Thanks much. Scott
If it's in that '65 Lark it's a 300, the color is Buick green, Cars, Inc sells it in qt cans and spray cans Cars Inc Web Page
Thanks Roberta. I really appriciate your help. As soon I muster enough $$$$ to get my engine rebuilt ill buy some of that paint.
By the way, the 300 is a nice motor, but a nailhead, it's not! If memory serves correct, the base engine was the V-6 225, the 300 is the same piston/ring/rod combo, with 2 added cylinders. In '64 the 300 had aluminum heads and intake, and came in the 2 and 4 barrel versions.Not sure about interchangeability for your '65. The 4 bbl was a spunky 11:1 compression ratio!The 300 derived from the famous all aluminum Buick v8 215 engine. Your 300 with 2 speed automatic is a durable setup for your Skylark, and parts are readily available. Steve
