Aceswild03 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) 248ci straight 8 (complete...carb to oil pan and currently running). Along with the 3 speed trans, torque tube and rear end. All original and all in working order, still in the car at this time. I belive there to be around 55k - 60k miles on the car. Minor exhaust leak at the manifold gasket, which is pretty common. Feel free to text me @ 770-318-8315. Im in Atlanta, Ga.

tripwire Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Let me guess, you're gonna stuff a small block in it? Wes in VT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceswild03 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Kind of...it’s getting a LS. I’ve owned and driven the car in its current state for a little over 10 years, but don’t drive it as often as I’d like, simply because it’s not really ideal for Atlanta traffic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willing to entertain offers from anyone in need of the driveline, as I’m not exactly sure how to value it. I apologize if not listing a price is against the rules.

Morgan Wright Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Please don't ruin this car by putting a new engine in. Just get a new car and leave this one be. There are new cars all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want a new car...I want this car, and I am going to modify it regardless of what anyone else would like for me to do with it. It is not a rare or very desireable car, but it means a great deal to me and I plan to drive it for a very long time. Andy 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Wright Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Well, if somebody can use your drivetrain to restore an old Buick that would be a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceswild03 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Agreed, I’d rather it not sit in my garage and rot, and I refuse to scrap it. It’d like to see it go to someone who will be able to use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Andy, perhaps come down to Buick-Modified and share your build. If you are already there and I have missed it, sorry. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are already there and I have missed it, sorry. Ben Will do, Ben. Should be pretty cool...a little different. Picked up a 2.3L ecoboost / 6r80 auto trans out of a 2016 Mustang. Going to go bigger turbo and some other goodies that should put down around 410hp/420tq to the rear wheels. Scott’s Hot Rods IFS, 4 link rear, coilovers all around. Gonna be a lot of fun ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
