Guest jef1956 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'm replacing complete drive train shortly and was wondering if there is anyone interested in dynaflow trans, rear end, front and rear coil springs, brake parts, master cylinder power brakes. Let me know if there is any interest in purchasing any of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Hi Jef1956, suppose you told everyone where these parts are or will be located, that's of interest and what are you doing with the engine?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 If the power brakes were working properly, I'd be interested in the power brake booster & master cylinder. If you are close to Texas, I would be interested in the transmission, but not if it has to be shipped a big distance. Also need the water manifold on the 322 engine if you are parting out the engine.Pete Phillips, BCA #7338Leonard, Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Last week I was looking for a power steering complete setup, but couldn't find one, so I stopped bidding on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jef1956 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 The parts would be located in Eagle, Wisconsin. Parts would be available this spring. The engine I'm keeping to put in a 39 Chevy coupe some day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Carczar Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Yes, we are restoring a '56 2 door special and need the piece that connects the brake pedal to the master cylinder.. It's something that bolts to the back/inside of the brake pedal. Mikes (Buick bonnery) was supposed to get me one but you know how that goes...!! also need good backup lites lenses & lots of other stuff but that's all I can remember tonight...Oh yeah... also front hub dust covers... those got lost somehow...

Dynaflash8 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Try CTC Auto Ranch in Denton, TX. They have a website and advertise in Hemmings. While restoring our 71 Buick Riviera they were very dependable and honest. Unfortunately, they didn't among all of their 56 Buicks a complete power steering assembly. Neither did Desert Auto Parts. The car was sold before I could locate a power steering assembly, and I wouldn't want any car anymore without power steering. Well.......there is/was a beautiful 47 Special sedan on AutoTraders.

MrEarl Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Was this a dual exhaust? Just curious, what type of carburetor were you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jef1956 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Had dual exhaust with a two barrel 15 miles to the gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 jeff, bringing this back to the top for you and have a question. How did you mount that Cadillac breather onto the 2 bbl carb? I love those breathers and had plans to use one on one of my 54's at one time but never checked to see if it would fit directly to a Carter 2082S. Would be a good opportunity for someone to grab a good '56 322 and tranny here. Best (and last ) year of the 322 and matching Dynaflow. Always amazed me how Buick increased horsepower on these little V-8's over the 4 years they were in production. 1953 - 188 HP1954 - 200 HP1955 - 235 HP1956 - 255 HPSorry to hear you decided not to keep it for your 39 Chevy Coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jef1956 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Still might end up keeping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Somebody needs this combo. If I didn't have a few already, I'd drive up there for it. I just spent $5k doing a 264 for a customer, and that doesn't include my labor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jef1956 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Just a note the Engine, Trans, power brake booster with M/C and steering box are sold. Coil springs, shocks, brake drums, brake shoes, wheel cylinders, rear end, torque tube are still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jef1956 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Just to let everyone know the Engine/Trans, brake booster and steering box are sold still have front and rear brake drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, shocks and coil springs. coil springs are sided for a 2" drop Mr. Earl was reading through threads and see I didn't answer you on how I mounted the Cadillac air cleaner on a 2 barrel. Took the bottom plate for a four barrel and welded a piece in with the hole sized for the two barrel. Than used a two barrel air cleaner mount for the stud to fasten the Cadillac air cleaner to.

MrEarl Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Dang, you must really like that Caddy air cleaner too. Where there's a will there's a way though. Cool!!! Just curious, what all is going back in the '56? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jef1956 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 What's going in the car is the following: LS1 engine, L60 4 speed automatic, ford 9" rear end, 4 wheel disc brakes with dual master cylinder, adjustable coil over on all four corners, new dual exhaust and my caddy air cleaner. I know the purses are just shaking their heads, but I'm getting ready to retire and I like driving my cars and I don't want to be worrying about some component going out in the stock engine and having to wait two weeks to get the part.
