Usualy if it only has one set of 4 holes, it is the 3-speed. If it has 8 holes, it is a 3/4-speed bellhousing. When Buick updated to the 4-speed tranny, they started making the bellhousings with bot

I stroked my 3.9 w/a 300 crank and used the Ford 255 pistons (cast). You'll probably have to get your cylinders honed a little and order the pistons oversized. D&D carries them, and they can probabl

Seems to me that a long time ago there was some discussion on this list about wether or not aluminum castings were heat-treated (I think someone was welding a bell-houseing or something). I don't rec

W/out any machining, the C/R is about 10.4, which is fine w/pump gas and aluminum heads. A thicker gasket will lower that some. As far as I know, no machining is required to pistons or head to make

If it doesn't frighten you, always go with EFI. With an aftermarket computer, you can make a big-cam idle like a small cam, increase your M.P.G and a host of other improvements. That's my 2 HP, James

Anybody know if a Buick 350 crank can be shoehorned into a Rover block? I know Dave Michel and Dan Lagrou put one in a 300 block, so the journal spacings must be the same, but I don't know if the cou

I'd suggest that (assuming you are using the proper spigot bush) perhaps your crankshaft pilot hole (where the bush is inserted) is oversized, or off-center. I don't know the specifics of your motor,

I don't think so, but you can always buy a pair, try them, let the group know your results, and then return them if they don't fit. You can also buy a gasket from each and see if the gaskets match.
