raydurr Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Check out EBAY item 263674723479 . Shown is a 1929 or 1930 Buick Master series engine. The first thing I noticed is the down draft intake and carb. These are not Buick pieces, as the exhaust manifold outlet is in the center. I heard years ago that certain 1940s GMC inline manifolds could be used. It looks very usable setup for those tired of their updraft issues. What do you guys know about this?

Bloo Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Not much, other than someone posted a picture of a Buick 6 a while back that had been cut into a pickup, probably long ago. It had a similar downdraft setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1939_Buick Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 At that price may be hard to attract a buyer https://www.ebay.ca/itm/1920s-1930s-Buick-complete-parts-engine-from-GMC-firetruck-lafrance-ALF/263674723479?hash=item3d643cfc97:g:kD8AAOSwNuVazA0y&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_Heil Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 In 1931 GMC Truck took over the production of Buick 6's for use in GMC Trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 20's era Buick manifolds are often turned up side down to accommodate down draft carbs for better fuel efficiency. I know that GMC trucks used 6 cylinder Buick engines in the late 20's - 1930 with the original updraft carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
