MrEarl Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 @Victor B not quite clear as to whether this is for a car or just the engine and transmission? Also, pictures and a price would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor B Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 I bought the Riv for the drivetrain , as the car was rusted out but driven ! The nailhead was narrow enough to fit into mr 30 Buick , which was engineless and titled as home made ! A project that has evaporated ! The eng and trans is what is for sale ! Would like to get it to someone that could really use it ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Post a picture of the engine Production Code Number. As previously stated NO 1964 Riviera came with a 401. Either it's a 425 or it's out of a different model. Edited June 3, 2020 by RivNut (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Engine is a "65 401 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 As John stated it's a 1965 401. L is the sequential letter for 1965 - J=1963, K=1964, L=1966, and M=1966. T designates a 401, W designated a 425. You might also want to look at the aluminum tag on the side of the transmission and let us know the date and code for it. Is it the original transmission for the 1964 or is it the transmission that came with the engine. If it's the 1965 transmission, it has the "switch pitch" feature in the torque converter. There is a market for switch pitch transmissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 15 hours ago, Victor B said: Here is the tag pic looks like a 65 ? BR code Came from a 1965 Riviera with a 3.23 rear axle ratio. It's a basic ST400 (Buick's name for a TH400) that has linkage for a floor shift and speedometer gears for the 3.23 rear end. All of the other Alpha-numeric stuff is serial numbers and assembly line info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
