I'm from the Flint area and back in 1977 was one of 30 local students chosen to go to the Buick engineering building to get us interested in engineering. I remember going to the dyno cells and see an early version of the 3.8 V6 turbo with the Q-jet carb! I asked an engineer whats the worst thing ever happen on a dyno? He said that a 455 stage 1 was running idle to redline full load testing and the flywheel broke. the engine came apart, oil all over, broke the fuel line and caught the dyno room on fire. Great memories.. BTW. Buick never had an RPO for the stage 2. They developed the heads and the parts to counter the Pontiac RAM AIR V tunnel port heads and both were dealer over the counter item...Luke SS 311

Soooooooooo, going by the Mopar/LD340 reasoning, this stuff should all be legal right?

Billy,
To stir the pot as my late friend John would say, sure these cars should be legal, genuine Buick parts installed at a dealer or sold over the counter for the customer to install. Like buying a COPO Camaro or building your own COPO, neither is an assembly line piece;-) Ever see a "factory" built Boss 429?
The AHFS will correct any issues right?

I believe Don Christy of NADA has a '69 Boss 429 here in SoCal. Bought from a museum a number of years ago.

Stunning under hood appearance at cruise nights! Since the engine wouldn't fit in the Mustang, and they were sent to Kar Kraft to be shoe horned in after some modifications, is that any different than a dealer installed factory package?

Buick Definition......" Fast with Class" ! We don't need all the fancy parts, and Line proved that. Does anyone remember all the whining when Buddy Ingersol was kicking pro stock azz with a little V-6??? Oh and then there is the first legal 7 second super stock car
