    Hello Buick friends.
    What do you think,does an 430 Wildcat engine and a 400 superturbine from 1966-1967 fit in a Skylark Gs 1966?
    I have tried to find a 401 nailhead i Sweden whithout any luck.
    Now i find this engine and gearbox (is gearbox the right word?).
    What do you think shoud i make a deal or what until i find a 401.
    witch engine is the best.
    Sorry about the english is been a while since i hade english in scool :Smarty:
    Best regards Janne Sweden :TU:

  4. the oldsmobile transmission (gearbox) will mate with the Buick engine. keep in mind that you will need a different set of frame pads and motor mounts to use a big block where there was once a nailhead or a smallblock engine. these parts are available at www.TAperformance.com
