What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

[Wraith]

More sanding 🙁

Did a quick tape off on the LS to fix the spots i missed painting it last week. I just wanna make sure no bare metal shows once put together. It looks way better now!

The couple small spots that look goofy from the tape line will not be visible once the front cover and water pump are on.

This is how I feel, I got to make a few Bonzai passes in my grudge car today! Now the real work starts.


Starting with this gauge panel and attempt to patch up where the previous owner butchered the dash... I have a Monte SS radio plate that looks like I can make work.

Brought home this lil beauty yesterday. '70 SP code Buick 350. Rated at 315hp/410tq. Gonna take it apart this weekend and spruce it up. I kinda want to put it in there as it is on the outside, I love the patina on it. Engine had under 70k miles when it was removed to make room for a 455, or so I was told. Guy seemed legit. Just an old guy with too many things going on at the same time, needed to lighten the load. Came 99% complete, minus the starter. But I have one anyway that I know is good. I'm so pumped for this, plus I get to use my damn air cleaner! And I wouldn't be lying with that sticker either 😛 It's rated at 10.25:1, probably closer to 9.5:1, but I don't know the cam specs of the SP 350... anyone have a 1970 Buick A body chassis manual? lol

do you have a picture of the SP stamped into the block, it's the driver's side on the block of the engine between #2 and #4 plug

that can't be the day of the year unless there was 268 days in 1970, the number on the engine I posted. The important stamp is the SP which was only available in 1970

Yep. I wonder what the numbers mean then... I'd assume just a production number or batch number...

i know when i did new car get ready in the mid 80's, we were required to right down the engine number on the inspection form. it may be part of the vin.
