Thanks Toby!

Cool thanks. I tried searching but no luck.

Does anyone know if the v6 buick pulleys will work on the buick v8?

Hey guys. Some of you may know I'm working on doing a swap from v6 to v8 buick. I know I'll need a fan shroud for a v8. What cars can I pull these from? V8 gbodies for sure right? Are there other cars?

Thanks for the tip. I think I saw that in an episode of car TV or something. Using the gauges. So you are also building a Buick 350 also?

That's a very true possibility. What about all the gunk in the cylinders right now? How to I clean them off? Looks like oil and rust. I think I might just remove heads and clean up in there. Clean up the heads and put new gaskets in. Is there a way to clean piston tops? Your absolutely right...

Well, Yes and No. I can get the engine to do about 3/4 of a turn and then it just gets stuck unless I go the other way. I have just been going back and forth until it stops. Seems to be giving way each time just a bit more. I plan on taking the heads off today, there seems to be some pretty...

I've decided to tear it down and see what I'm working with. What needs to be rebuilt will. I plan to assemble myself. So I will be asking tons of questions.

NICE! I still need to clean up the engine a bit. To see the casting number. I don't remember the number right now on the intake but I did a little research. From what I found it was used in 1970 skylark GS. Block doesn't seem to be rebuilt so I'm pretty sure it's all number matching.

So I had some time to take valve covers off. Heads are stamped 1233472. Are these good heads worth rebuilding?

Sorry didn't upload correctly

Thank you sir! I had a chance to take off the intake and water pump last night. Here are some pics, a little debri fell on the sided and I cleaned it up, but nothing actualy went down into the valley. What do you guys think? I will be taking the heads off today since I should be out a litle...

The company decided to provide us lunch today, so since I didn't have to go anywhere I used my lunch hour to do some pricing. Ofcourse I am not going to buy anything yet. Just window shopping. Total for all the parts you listed minus the motor mounts, if I am not mistaken won't the V-6 mounts...

This sounds like a great plan :). Ill probably start taking the heads, and intake off this weekend. First I have to clean it up a bit, going to hit it with some purple power and a wire brush today once I get home from work. I will start pricing gaskets, and other things you mentioned tonight...

I'm in tempe az

I totally agree. But just knowing that it broke loose is a good feeling for me. Next weekend I take it apart and see how it looks. I really don't think its too bad. From what the guy I got it from he seemed to be sincere and not bsing me he told straight up, water got into it from the recent...

With no real pressure, I did it with a flat heat head screw driver. A short one :) What do you guys suggest we do next? WE because you all are part of this now lol

Gentlemen! We have movement! I was just trying to rock it back and forth from the flywheel, and I got it to rotate about 3/4 spin, spat out what I put it in! I put a little more to let it soak more..but it's moving! Good news!

Ohh I am, its just a slight tug...no real pressure..its like my fix to resist lol.
