About to wake up v8 buick land no joke the real deal

Oops, missed that pic! Thanks for pointing it out (I was on my phone, little screen. At least that's my sorry excuse....haha).

 

Just wanted to add the heads are 1969 cast# 1109 but are stage 1 and have. r-d #stamped. both heads have same # on them as a pair For. Stage 1testing.and that is very uniqe. On its own So that may be the test they did on this xbock For sure it is one of the 6 block tested for 1970 455 .it has the thick. Mains. And was drilled like a 430. for oil in front but is a( 1970- 455) Call if need to thanks Greg 1(269)979-3083

 

I never said it was. I was told by( john the one that had the first 4 bolt xblock bare block) that he got $5000. he said my complete. Engine. may bring more many year later and it has 1969 stage 1 heads with the r -d # stamped. On both of them as a set.could be the test they done as a stage 1 for 1970 on this xblock I dont know if I have ever seen one before has enyone else. Its got to be rare.

 

It would make for one strong block to build and have the oil to front and make a great gsx xblock 1970 stage 1 add on .would add some price increase. to a gsx.dont think there are many out with a block with the mains that thick or have a big old x on the block running out here.Denny said only a handful (6) had the x in 1970.this is one of the 6 blocks.

 

A quick story on Dennis Manner (ret. GM Powertrain - Buick) in November 2013 Musclecar Review.
Was a featured guest at the 10th annual Buick Nationals.

 

He sat in the host hotel parking lot in Norwalk this year and hung out, chatting Buicks and sharing stories. He's a genuine and extremely neat guy to talk to. He went out to dinner with a big group of attendees on Saturday, but we drove the buick up to lake Erie for a little afternoon sightseeing and missed it, kinda a bummer. But still an honor to chat with him.

 

That's if you ever see one in your life and trust me you will never see one for $300 bucks let us know if you ever see one again

 

This post is now 4 years old. I would assume you sold this block by now as much as you tried to get it out there. How much did you get out of it?

 

Hmmm interesting

 

Well the guy that got it asked me not to say how much in cash but I can tell you this, I did a frame off and set my GSX up with a complete stage 2 engine oil pan to carb and all new legendary interior and paint thanks to the guy that got it

 

Oh yes. And it's got a new 12 bolt with 373s new ss gas tank.

 

And a rebuild on my turbo 400 with

 

JW. Stall converter

 

You got ALL that done on the sale Greg?!!!

That had to set you back at least $4300!

 

Ha ha ha! Only you lol

 

Nice! Is the engine being rebuilt and used or is it a display piece?

 

NICE !!!
