Pete Phillips Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Looks like it is for the small series straight eight, 1937-1953. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I think it's too short to have come from an in-line 8 and too short for any Buick V8. Did Buick ever make an in-line 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Ed, Buick made in-line sixes from 1914 to 1930, but this is not for one of those. This is for the small series straight eight. I know because I measured the length of the cylinder head on one of my 263 straight eights, and it is the same measurement as shown in Mr. Earl's photo.

Glassesguy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 1941-1953 small series. Spacing on holes for the studs is different from the cover used on1936 - 1940. Also vent louvers were added in 1941to try and overcome condensation complaints of the earlier covers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
