GEN I POWAH Buick!!!!

[bubba428]

LOL well the motor is in, I got a dizzy, fuel line, pump and a few other parts that were damaged in the crash. I also made a few discoveries of a few junk yard jewels...I managed to find a Accel super coil I stuck on the distributor I was buying and got it for free that way. I found a set of 416 heads (58cc chambers and 1.94/1.50 valves) i'll be pulling in the morning and rebuilding. I also found a 8.5in 4link 10 bolt with LSD 3.73 in a monte SS that will fit my car. I stumbled across a set of american racing 15x9 wheels with DRs...looks like that buick is going to be a lot faster on the 1st track day than I expected...hoping to see low 13s with a stock converter

I didnt know monte carlo SS's came with 8.5 inch ten bolts. I thought only GN's came with those.

[bubba428]

my 84 limited has one and unless i'm mistaken its on a monte its an older one though..79 i think

442s did a well, I think.

[The Fixer]

1984 Hurst/Olds, '85-'87 442s, and '84-'87 Turbo Buicks got the 8.5" rear. The Olds cars had 3.73 gears, and the Turbo Buicks had 3.42s. Posi was optional on all rears.

If it's truly a G-body 8.5" rear, it should have two "fangs" on the lower part of the center section. Most likely, you found a 7 5/8" rear out of a Monte SS, which would have 3.73s in it. Again, the posi is optional, so make sure that it works before you pay for it.

Good luck with the new G-body!

DUDE I love that show...I grabbed them 416s today and god damn do I have alot of cleaning to do...somebody else to a shot at getting these heads and gave up 1/2 way through. this thing has dirt and sludge like you wouldnt believe. I had to scrap out around the bolts to get the socket on there

[bubba428]

I just dropped the 416 heads off today. Having 2.02/1.60 valves instaled, they are being clearanced for .600 max lift. I'm ordering a new cam with .504/.525 lift and .233/.241 duration, single plane intake and a 3000 stall speed converter. got 3.73 gears i'm gonna pick up soon as well. **** ain't no joke. I'm gonna tear that stock 700R4 four new ********. O and I'm gonna prime it black and paint it semi gloss black

[NJSPEEDER]

Why clearance them for 600 lift and then only put 525 in it?

[bubba428]

cause the guy had stock size springs good for .500 or .600 for a good price no 550. plus that gives me room on that cam for 1.6 rockers too. I wanted to go with a 546 lift but i may have valve-piston issues at that lift
