    WELCOME!!! to our Buick Family... one of the best Intro's I've seen... Great to see your beautiful family. I'm traveling for work and it makes me miss our grandchildren (my bride of 37 years and I have 3 children and 5 grandchildren... our oldest being about your age). What is your resto plan? Restomod or OEM or ???

    About the only thing that starts the throwing of bombs is putting a chevy or other non-Buick engine in. (And the ls is a chevy engine, no matter what it came out of).

    Lol my buddy has a LS that he’s trying to get me to pit in. at some point I need to put in a power house but for now I’ll drive the 300 until I get the money for a better motor.

    We have visited Waco a few times, McLane stadium, the Texas Ranger museum (not the baseball team!) and the dinosaur digs. Waco is an interesting city which isn't too far from us.
    Good luck with the '67.

    Welcome from Ontario, Canada. Joshua you'll get so much info, advice and direction here it's amazing. As for your direction with the car that sounds awesome. My car has the punisher theme going on. The power plant thing can be a bit touchy here:eek::rolleyes: but hey if LS swap is the way you want to go it's your car so do as you see fit especially if it fits your budget. Buicks are expensive to build and if people tell you otherwise they're lying or haven't done one lol. Good luck and cheers my friend!
