Guest Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 wanted one 1965 300 cylinder head, one of mine is cracked, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buick Doctor Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I have 2 or 3 1965 Buick 300 V8 engines for parts. I have the cylinder heads. I could sell just one for $200 plus shipping to you.<BR>It is possible I could have it checked for cracks before I send it to you.<p>[ 07-09-2002: Message edited by: Buick Doctor ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buick Doctor Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 1965 Buick 300 engine cylinder heads are 1 year only. The 66-67 300/340 head is not the same, and uses a different intake manifold as well. This is from the Hollander Interchange manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Chapman Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 I've been under the impression all along that the '65-'67 300/2bbl used the same iron heads and intake manifold. The 300/4bbl was a '65 year only. The 340 certainly has a different manifold. Anyone out there have definitive knowledge?<P>JMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Arthur,<BR>If a 1967 340 head is the same, I have one and would sell for $50 plus cost of shipping and machine shop check for cracks. I think it has a couple of broken exhause bolts.<BR>Thanks,<BR>Michael S.<BR>mbspears@excite.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Check your parts book. It will cost a lot of money to send it from the states to Holland,so guessing should not be an option.Buick changed some water passages in that era.My parts book shows the 65 300 head all by itself.No pun intended,but have you checked your Hollander parts interchange book?

BUICK3001964 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Things that make ya go HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM<BR>The 1964 aluminum 300 heads and intakes are the 1 year only pieces. All the iron headed 65-67 one i'v torn down have the same heads on them, and thats dozens. just my humble opinion and experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gford Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 I would have to weigh in with Sean on this one. It has been my experience, also, that the 65-67 300 heads will interchange. I might add that Sean is probably as much of a "300" expert as any Buick lover as attested to by his 12.72 and his accumulated knowledge since I last spoke with him at the Columbus Nationals where he "only" had that 64 "300" running in the low 13 range and has since dropped it into the 12s.<P>Garry<p>[ 07-10-2002: Message edited by: gford ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 ALL OF YOU ARE 100% CORRECT During the time period involved,openings in the head changed,hence a different part # for 65, and 66 up heads.Please look in your parts book and you will find that the part # for 65 head gasket is different than 66 up. Use the rigt head gasket for the head involved,also,dig up your Buick bulletins 1965&1966 and READ them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
