Welcome to V-8 Buick! (Re: new to forum 1963 wildcat) Welcome Herb! You'll find that this forum is very helpful for all kinds of problems! After joining I found all sorts of things that needed fixing and people came up to the plate on all of them. So you'll be well served here! Cheers, Edouard :beer P.S. A few pictures of your classic Buick does wonders to generate interest!! :kodak:
'63 Wildcat's are sweet. What kind of shape is yours in?? They share a few parts with '63 LeSabres and Electras. '62 and '64 Wildcats also have a few of the same parts.
Your VIN number is more useful in identifying your car. What have you got? 2dr? 4dr? Convert? There are several 63 Wildcat owners on here. One of us should be able to assist with advice and parts suggestions.

Welcome! It looks like a great car to start with. Virtually all 401 and 425 engine parts will interchange - except block and pistons. Some 364 parts will also interchange, but not intake manifolds.
