Guest Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 I have a 1965 Special with the 225 V-6. I want to change it from the 1 barrel to a 2 barrel. I have the engine apart for the first time and I need to get it back together. I can't stand to see my baby not running. I think I can use a 2 barrel from the 66 or 67, but I am not sure. If anyone can help me, please let me know. Thanks.<P>Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 ask around on some of the mid 60's jeep sites. jeep/kaiser used the 225 v6 for several years in the mid 60's and the buick 350 tor two years in the fullsize wagoneer/gladiator. those boys have the parts you want, because those motors are the 'big' ones for them. here in buick land, the 225 is basically ignored <P>good luck.

Guest Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 There are more intakes both stock and aftermarket for a 225 than any other Buick. Jeep and marine are the best stock sources. The Jeep boys use the Offy 4brl intake, 500 AFB, 270-280 duration cam with 465-490 lift, plus 340 4 brl pistons. Without cam and pistons stay with the factory 2 brl, port match the intake to the heads and use an H pipe in the exhaust. Spend your money on the best double roller timming chain you can find. The odd fire of a 225 is hell on chains, loose chains change both cam and dist timming and rob you of a lot of power. The 225 is a great engine, parts are out there it will just take a little looking. JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Jim. Thanks for all the help. I am new at this engine building/modifying thing. This website and you in particular have been a great help. I will let you know the progress of the engine and the rest of the car. I am sure I will have more questions along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
