    Rege. Buick motors are a little diffrent, I would suggest you get the book " Guide to Buick performance engines" and read through it first to get an Idea about what is involved. The book talks about 455's but will give you an Idea on what is involved to build a 350 motor. Hope this helps

    Thanx David for the info,I guess I'm not the only one who's online before 6am.That's the only time I can peacefully use the computer and relax/sleep or work on one of the skylarks.Before my busy day/one of my jobs begin...I sure wish there was a book I really wanted to try a rebuild but oh well some more money to be saved I guess it's going to a shop...Thnx again David for your help....
