bought a 1968 192" fed out of cali over a yr ago. i will be the frankenstein guy here because i am running a 350 buick engine. why the frankenstein? the 350 is now 363. 283 chevy pistons, ford nascar rods with honda bearings, mopar intake modified to fit the 350 and whatever other parts it takes to make it work. have made a mopar single plane and a b&m blower setup. currently TRYING to make a 4-71 hapmton blower fit on the engine. lot of little issues to make things work. hopefully be done for testing when spring breaks.

Holy smoke and I thought I was a mix match of parts, Pontiac 400 bored and stroked to 461 , the new blower engine to have Chevy rods with Pontiac main bearings. I'm not even close. Start a build thread down under Your Builds / Photo Gallery and keep us updated! Welcome aboard.

i keep a tread going on a buick site. as far as pictures go, thats way beyond my technology. don't know how to use or have a cell phone, them digital cameras, program a vcr and a host of other oddities. and don't want to learn.  :)

the rail is pretty much original. p-s spindles and box, airheart brakes, summer axles. want to get period correct rims for it sometime. oldie but a goodie.

Don't feel outa place mine will have a SBFord :o

buickfed:
yeah, but they make parts for fords. try a 350 buick. actually any small block buick. hi-po parts are not available. struggle all the time. thankfully my background as a r&d machinist helps a lot.
