rather have a buick , pontiac , olds than a chevy any day ! MOST ANYBODY CAN BUILD A CHEVY ! i am a FORD man but if i built a gm car it would be one of the 3 above ;NOT CHEVY !
@bigblock654 ; yea anybody can build a chevy ; they are cheap ; SO WHAT ? it might cost a little more to build one of the others but for a couple of hundred more & get just as much hpower . been building engines for about 40 years . i match parts & not throw parts together like some people !
Thats 25 years of development in Buick engines that no one else has dared to do. Its taking a chance and creating a business that makes some of the highest quality products available for an engine that has the ability to be better than a majority and is overlooked by most. That is the result of 25 years of development. Rich? No. Costly? Yes, but with determination anything is possible.
that's badass! 9's in a wagon.. that rocks. A former teacher of mine.. and 2 or 3 other guys who have 2nd mortgages etc run a 63 Pontiac which goes low 7's on spray and a glass doghouse. but this car launches nice... like a more typical drag car not a wagon. props!
Mike,kid coulson here with the 70 convert GS.I remember back in the day that wagon would be on the back bumper at Beech Bend.AWESOME!! I gotta get mine back out.Keep up the good work!!
Yeah were working on putting the Wagon back together (we have the engine appart) and were trying to make the thing even faster. Going to try to get a lighter rear end and just work on speeding up the engine. Gotta love Buick 455's!!!
You guys do awesome work! Really want a set of the new headers for my 86 T-Type. When can we expect to see this beast again at Bowling Green?

In all honesty I have no idea, whenever Dad gets around to putting the engine back together and at this rate it may be indefinite =\

@bigblock654 wrong my friend. BOPs tend to make more power when built right.
