Nice I work right down the road from you off green st at gexpro services. I’m going to try and go to more cruise ins this year may not be in the Buick first with its engine issues but may have found a engine in Raleigh I’m going to try checking out. Might have to take the Typhoon out to some of the early cruise ins

That's an awesome find! Did they also make a few Skoal Bandit Regals that year?

Gave it a quick wash to get some of the grime off and got the original engine unloaded out of my Tahoe.

The 2 actual cars used to pace the race were built up 4.1 V6’s. You would think they all would have came turbo
