rocketraider Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 The aluminum 215 V8 was used in Buick and Olds compacts 1961-1963. The tooling was then sold to Rover where it was used into (I think) the 1980s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
another old car Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 street<BR>asked one of buddys at work about the engines and he said that if they are a matched set for a "60" wooden boat ,that one of the engines would run backwards ,he had a 40" boat with twin 327 chevys and said port side ran clockwise other ran counter-clockwise I myself dont know much about boats , maybe another boat owner will clear this up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streets Posted April 23, 2002 Author Share Posted April 23, 2002 thanx aoc thats interesting and seems to make sense, but maybe those outdrives??? take car of that. They did come out of a 26' wooden titanic. The owner is still around & I'll ask.<BR>If they are stock Buick engines (car,)they will wind up on ebay or Hemmings. What do you think one is worth rebuilt? I took the whole boat for the engines & trailer. <BR>The boats going to meet my chain saw .<p>[ 04-22-2002: Message edited by: streets ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
