Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
Nothing would have to be done. The car being referred to was a grand national body. The engine parts are really getting kind of scarce

Billy, Do you have a 4.1 sitting in your collection? Somewhere around here I have some heads and maybe an intake...

Natural T car, so in U/SA , it weighs over 200 lbs less than a 273 Plymouth (2 bbl, 174 hp) .We recently saw one of those running .85 under. So, how much faster would the Buick be in U/SA? I'm sure you have an idea. BTW an old clapped out Regal ,231 can't be worth too much ..It can be an 81 or newer, I would think. ;-)

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
If I were 20 years younger I would build a 1962 Pontiac Tempest 115 hp 4 cylinder for W/SA. No cylinder head specs.,no carb specs, no piston specs..

Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
So, is the GM 3800 a dead deal?
Don't see much for parts for any V6 anymore. |
