i got the same problem (or concern) rebuilding a 425 nailhead the rear seal is a rope seal and it seams to make everything real tight.i know my bearings are in right. is this normal or not? scott 1964 wildcat 425 2-4bbls 4-speed (going back together finally )

try alpine green real close match spray cans at any parts store scott 1964 wildcat

it was built in flint also 7J1 scott

you can send your old one to steel rubber products (steelrubber.com) they can remake it. i had mine done for around 100.00 scott 1964 wildcat

the one in my 64 is 6000 i aint saying its right but that's what it says scott

have ya'll seen this? Item number: 2460205688 and the bid is over 35000.00 and not reached the reserve. (but it is a sweeeeeeeeet car) scott

you can try poston enterprises i got mine there 425 .30 over $225.00 but i dont think the 425 pistons will work on a 401 a 425 bore is 4.3125 the 401 is 4.125 (i am not 100% sure on that last measurment)you can also call T A performance they had some for the 425 at $325.00a set.(i think they charge way too much) personal opinion i dont mean to offend anyone. scott 1964 wildcat

at the nats in bowling green 3 years ago i saw a ford mustang so i asked why "rules state BUICK POWERED" enough said. i think thats cool(but if leno showed up he couldnt race)not buick powered thats not cool.let them show there cars. after building 1 nailhead i can see why chevy engins are popular (my 305 rebuild was a total cost of 600.00 stock 30 over my 425 has already cost over 1800.00 and still counting stock 30 over) but i would never swap it for a chevy. scott 1964 wildcat 425 2-4's 4-speed not a #'s matching car oops i must be modified

in a magazine i saw last month they showed photo's of jay leno's buick (50 somthing model)real nice to look at but it had a 572 crate engine corvette undercarrage etc...... is it still a buick .can it be shown as a buick ?????? scott

mine has bucket seats half console with arm rest floor mounted consolette with gear lay out and buick emblem in center i have tried to post a photo but they say its to big or the wrong format so i gave up on posting a photo scott

on the 64 wildcat i know that there were 356 2 door sport coupe's with 4 speed's. i dont know how many 4 door's or rag tops dont know any info on 1963 models you can check in flint and have them run a search thats what i did. scott 64 wildcat 425 2-4's 4-speed (still under major construction)

i went to flint and checked myself. there were 356 1964 2 door sport coups built with 4-speed manual transmission.i dont know how many 4-door there were. but all were built in flint. scott 1964 wildcat 425 2x4's 4-speed (under major construction)

postons are sending a call tag and said that they will credit my charge card wild bill call me about the flywheel i'll come up and look at it. thanks scott 1964 wildcat 425 2-4bbls 4-speed(under major overhaul)

where are you at and how much scott the car is a 1964 wildcat 2-door

all i wanted was a refund. i have no invoice(they didnt send one) only a credit card recipt their refund policy states 20% restocking fee shipping back to them at my cost shipping 40.00 restocking fee 53.55 total 93.55 at that cost if i keep it im out 270.00 if i send it back i threw away 100.00 just wadded it up and gone im still highly pissed scott does anyone know how to make the new flywheel work?

I ordered a flywheel for a 425 manual transmission from poston.they said it will work or i could return it,i paid 267.75 and as soon as i opened the box i knew it was wrong. mine has a recessed clutch and the new one was flat well i called poston they told me that it will work just put it in the car. when i told them that it is not anything like my old flywheel they said it will work. the box it came in said 401 NOT 425 i told them my pressure plate will not work on this new flywheel they said i was wrong.I finally got pissed and raised my voice and they told me not to call them and get mad.i got mad after i talked to them i dont really know if they dont know any better or what but i got screwed royally some people think that so many parts are interchangable if it fits one it will fit them all i could be wrong but there is two different part # 1 for 401 flywheel and 1 for 425 flywheel] all i wanted was to return the flywheel instead i was told how stupid i am scott phillips nashville tn (I MIGHT TAKE A DRIVE TO ATMORE ALA THIS WEEK) <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

i would like to have a plate also but just so you will know i do have a buick 1964 wildcat 425 2-4bbls 4-speed but the transmission is scattered \all over my floor right now\im in the the middle of rebuilding it so i could not take it to flint i was there loved the show so just because i want a plate dont mean i want to sell it scott pphil36155@aol.com

how much and where at? scott

i had my 64 wildcat painted cheaply . well i got what i paid for.i am now in redoing everything all over again.but im going to do it myself i dont know anything about painting but i will learn.it was painted oct last year allready has rust bubbles where it was not preped right.(less than 1 year it is starting to rust again) the guy that painted mine let me take photos also but a photo cant see under primer.my advice is to do it or get it done right the first time.saves money in the long run. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
