    2004R build for 500 HP

    When I was talking to him he said the shaft wasn't drilled for it like the feed hole. The Fred I'm talking about is Fred Catlin, the first Buick 528 Buzzila build with Jim Bell from Kenne Bell performance. Also C Stock record holder back in the day. He helped me with advise for years and help me...

    2004R build for 500 HP

    2004R build for 500 HP

    I found that billet drum on ebay for 300. but I have to get it apart and see how it looks. I was thinking like you but red alto clutches and there was a way to get more clutches for one of the drums and overdrive. I want at least 3000 stall with lock up. The cam I will try in the 350 is power...

    2004R build for 500 HP

    I'm building my first 2004R that will be mostly on the street with some drag racing. The Buick 350 will put out 350 to 400+ HP but the Regal will get a 455 after that. I've been reading on different sites of what needs to be done so I hope there is a trans man here to help me out. I read on...

    Opinions on 403's?

    I need to sell it because I'm building a 350 Buick and a 455 Buick. I don't own an Oldsmobile and it's in the way plus I need the money. Now I'm building a 8.5 from a 72 Skylark and putting it in the Regal and that will cost me about a Grand. Please somebody buy it from me! Also the race car...

    91 3.8L Heads

    I got the seats and valves hitting like I want them but I'm trying to find a good way to measure stem height without the correct tool. I know they are too high cause I compared them to an untouched head with a level square to the valve cover surface but this is not accurate. and the book does...

    91 3.8L Heads

    I am rebuilding a Buick 3.8L for my 91 Buick LeSabre. I went .030 over and I am working the heads. I had new guides installed, new valves, which a had back cut 20 degrees and I'm working the head ports just to see if it helps. The Question I have is the intake part of the head where the air...

    My 1986 Buick Regal

    So are you going to sell all that Chevy stuff and go with a Tamahawk Buick 455 and go really fast or just a stock 455 and run 10.50's? Get rid of that 9" and put a 12 bolt in it and run 2 tenths faster. I don't want to sound like a D--- but This is what I have learned racing these cars and a...

    He is correct but I live Buick so it's Buick on all levels. If you have an olds car it will be better if you lift the hood and say that is my 403 Olds engine and not a Chevy! or a 455 Olds but not a Chevy. Hell if you want to do an everybody else put a Rousch ford in it. I was going to upgrade...

    307 upgrades

    Yes I'm in Indianapolis, In and I want to spend my money on the Buick 350 so the 403 Olds is for sale. Crank is .010 .010 and polished and the 403 block has been checked for cracks and needs bored and decked because of some rust in the cylinders and the deck has coolant deterioration so with...

    Replacing 78 231 3.8L with later 252 4.1L V6 questions

    I would love to build an all out racing 4.1 and see how it performs but don't know the pros and cons of it. If you get a phenolic Qjet spacer than that carb should work with the clearance.

    Replacing 78 231 3.8L with later 252 4.1L V6 questions

    I was going to ask you if you would sell the top right one to put on my Regal. Do you have emission testing in your area?

    Replacing 78 231 3.8L with later 252 4.1L V6 questions

    If that is a 231 give it a Qjet, performer intake or stock 4 bbl intake, HEI distributor. I seen a Regal with a 231 run 11.80's N/A in the 1/4 mile. I kind of wish my Regal had a 231 in it. Good gas mileage and power.

    I might be in trouble......

    You need my 403 for the Olds. It's apart crank is polished, block needs bored and decked and I have a set of 455 heads that just need springs but they are shaved a bit. My thread is 403 disassembled.

    86 Buick Regal Build Plan-Progress from Indy.

    I might take the 72 8.5 out of my Skylark and get a coil over conversion kit and weld some frame rails on the inside of the original to get more tire clearance. I would like to get a 200 R4 and beef it up and use a 2500 stall at first and see how that works. I got to get the 350 Buick engine...
