I have the factory 63 buick 215 4 barrel motor. i was gonna run a edelbrock 650 carb. Is this too much carb for the stock motor?
That should be fine. Does it have a 4GC? If so, those are about 700 CFM and I like the old Rochesters and Carters.
The 215-300-340 is a good engine. Like all, it has its strong and weak points. And is the "British Small Block Chevy" sort of cult. A little background on what you have and what you think you want to do/have going forward. And what your level of experience/capability, budget and time. That will help a lot. Might be you can live with the 215, and might be that you need it as a door stop.
A very dumb question but i must ask......The block and heads are factory aluminum, Is the factory intake aluminum as well
Yes,Intake is aluminum. More info about the engine...https://www.teambuick.com/reference/library/affordable_aluminum_v-8.php
I have a spare motor i need to put on a engine stand. Does anyone know the length and/or size of the bolts i need to mount to the stand?
