BUKE Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 :rolleyes:Hi welcome to our form. I'm sure you will find a lot of help on this forum as I do. Well to answer your request that motor is getting hard to find but can be found first off we need to know where you are located and maybe we get you some advice. I know up here in Massachusetts there are still some around in the boneyard so let's know where you're at and maybe we can help. Have a great Buick day buke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Look on Craigslist. These cars come up regularly and in many cases they run, but can't be driven for other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUKE Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hiwell you might want to rebuild your block parts all available if there are no holes are cracks. It's not too hard of a job and you might be able build it into a 400 with power. I did this with the 1979 Firebird and got all my parts from advanced auto parts. It worked out well and it was lots of fun for a winter project. Good luck. buke have a great Buick day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dwane Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Thanks Buke, I think that is the route I'm going to go. It will be a great winter project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol' yeller Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I live close to you, Federal Way, WA and I have a good 300 cast iron block engine, (2 barrel) that I'd be willing to part with. It is from a 1965 Skylark. It is mostly complete and was running when I put it into garage storage a few years ago. PM me here or send me an email at gmpowersfam@comcast.net.
