Yes, it's for a 248. The "ears" are there on #8 exhaust for the washer/bolt to catch on, if that's what you are asking.

Sorry, it went to the scrap yard several months ago...

1948 4.45 Rear end for sale. Good condition. $250 where it sits in Brenham, TX.

Sold!

If the engine has never been out of the car (rebuilt), it might just be full of rust. My car would overheat when I got it. I removed the rear freeze plug and was able to flush out enough rust to fill up a 1 lb. coffee can. Problem solved.

One of my biggest faults has been honesty concerning cars, business, and women.

I'm in Brenham. I sent you a message.

Do you have any suggestions for selling?

Approx 50 pcs 1953 grille teeth stainless. Most should be 50-70 series, some might be 40 series. I'm unsure if there is a difference. $20 + $15 shipping, $35 total.

My Super Convertible was bid up to $24,000 against a $29,000 reserve. There was a Roadmaster up at the same time as mine. The consensus in the comments is that 1940's cars are no longer what they once were, especially stock cars. Meanwhile, there was an '88 Toyota 4Runner that sold for $42,000, so I guess they're right.

I agree with Joe. Start in second, shift to third at 20, and you're done. But you are well over 3000 rpm at 60 mph. I looked for a 3.9 because that was the ratio used in '52, the last full year of the straight eight but I couldn't find one at the time. I had a 3.6 from a '53 Roadmaster V-8, so I tried it. It works fine. You have to use every gear now, but it is much better on the highway. It's not going to win any drag races, but that wasn't going to happen with the 4.45 either.

Here's my '48 56c. It's been this way for 40 years. It's my understanding in Texas, they used the motor number back then. It created alot of problems when folks would get a replacement engine from a junk yard. You can disconnect the cylinders from the top frame to raise and lower manually.

We need pictures!

That's too bad, because Pete is one of most helpful guys you're going to find on this site. Scott

Matt, The '48 Super convertibles came with a 4.45 rear end, so they spin around 3000 rpm at 60 mph. I put a 3.6 in mine, which made a great improvement on the highway. By the way, I can't sell mine either... https://forums.aaca.org/topic/330782-1948-buick-super-convertible/?tab=comments#comment-2027850 Scott
