palbuick Posted May 22, 2001 Share Posted May 22, 2001 There are also a few pair of Alum. heads for the 401. I have touched a pair. The OLd Guy <BR>Joe Taubits can confirm. Story has it that there were a lot of Buick employees who were racers, Oval and straight track, and a few sets were cast in Alum. on a midnight shift or a back room. Buick never did ofically make any for the 401/425.<P>A couple of beers and some of these old Flint people will give up all kinds of secrets.<P>Jim Schilf /palbuick@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Guy Posted May 24, 2001 Share Posted May 24, 2001 I just got back from running the Hot rod power tour to california ,and it is late ,but I must agree that Buick did in fact make some 401 aluminum heads. I will tell you more tomorrow!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
