How about six 215 engines?

And finally, you are aware that GM sold the rights for this motor to Rover, which until recently was still making them, right? Production ran from 1964 to 2006, in displacements from the original 3.5 liters up to 5.0 liters. The 3.9 liter and 4.4 liter versions are pretty common in wrecking yards around here (Wash DC area). The original GM (and aftermarket) carb manifolds will bolt to these motors, but they come with a very cool EFI manifold from the factory. And yes, you can drop one into your Buick.
