Should we add the 300 v8 to this section's description?

Should we add the 300 v8 to this section description?
1. Yes
2. No
3. Buick made a 300" V8?

 

Might as well. It's talked about more here than it is in the Nailhead section. (it is a nailhead)

 

The 300 is NOT a nailhead. It has the same basic block as the 215, 340, and 350. They just made it so it looks like it has vertical valve covers like a nailhead.

Not to stir the pot... but... how about adding the aluminum 215 to the description as well. It WAS the first Buick small block and it is the ONLY Buick V8 still in production.

Yes, there are certainly more 300's around than 340's.

Don't see many posts about 215's, but they are also part of the small block family.

 

Oh... ok... ou:

 

The easiest way to know 100% is that the 215/300/340/350 and 231 v6's all have the distributor up front and the same basic timing cover.

All the nailheads had the distributor in the rear of the block.

So is it going to happen?

 

I changed the description of the forum, although I would have to agree that having 340 in it, would have covered it.

But no biggie..

Sorry, I did not see this for a while.
