Sheesh man, who did you piss off bad enough to get the bad juju????
Another Buick bites the dust, time for something reliable, like an LS swap 😉.
Willing to bet the ratio of blown up LS to Buick 350s is at least 5:1. This engine was never even meant to be in the car this long. Just goes to show things never go as planned. Sometimes you end up with an extra vent in your block.
 
And I thought the blowby was bad before...
 
same ol, same ol.
Need to change the ol. I keep hearing the story about bricking the gas pedal on a diposable engine to see what happens. Time for a 455?

if i find a good deal i wouldnt be opposed, the main thing is having to make custom mounts. No welder. nor do i know how. 455s have more oiling issues than 350s though.
 
455 mounts are different than 350 mounts? Frame part or block part?
Both. There's a bit of conjecture about it though, some say "oh I just dropped it in and it fit perfectly" while others had to do this and that to make it work. I haven't been able to get a clear answer. The few of you on here that have a 455, speak up lol. That's the reason why I went with a 350 Buick in the first place. No ****ing around with mounts or anything. Just drop it in.

Painted the tunnel last night before the transmission got sent back up. Always love taking the opportunity to blast fresh paint when replacing parts 👍🏼

The difference is 21psi of boost and 600whp. You forgot to mention that part.
