I know it's not a 'classic', but it's mine! 1979 2 dr Buick LeSabre with a Pontiac 301. I know the easy and cheap thing to do would bea small block Chevy, but I think the cool and proper thing to do would be a 455 Buick. I've heard about people putting a 4 speed in the b-bodies and I think that'd be awesome, but a console out of a regal and floor shifter would be awesome too.
Welcome, those were the GM generic engine years. Had a new 77 Buick wagon with an olds 350. Had to be real careful on getting various parts since you could get any of 3 engines depending on location I guess. Also had a 79 Pontiac Bonneville with a Buick 350! Reverse of yours! We also like to know where you are from and some pics are good too.
Welcome, Do what ever you like to your new classic! Here in Minnesota all it needs is to be 20 years old to be a classic...
