Buick straight 8 running with dual carbs and dual Smithy exhaust

Sounds neat. Fix the alternator screws, because it wants to rip itself off the engine.

wish they made these engine still. Even though they are longer and now days can build better crankshaft. Could get really good towing and fuel mileage with these. A good inline 8 is pretty much bullet proof and last forever.

I like that. Real Nice. My 1940 Buick has the dual carbs and dual exhaust on a 1949 248 cc engine. That was real sweet. It has a diff sound on the video, not like if real life. When you are wrapping out in 2nd gear with the windows down is when this sounds the best. I know what it sounds like, it is not anything like a slant 6 or a straight chev 6.

thanks for posting...your engine really sparkles. What kind of air cleaner do you have?

Where did you get the exhaust manifold?

@davey4557 hey it's a GM alternator (right?), they're supposed to flap around in the breeze xD

[joffeloff]

That is just awesome. Very nice.

dude you need to add a support rod on your alternator bracket, it shouldnt bounce back and forth like that, great way to ruin alot of belts

[crisp2882]

sounds awesome

Thanks! Great post.

Looks like you need a lower bracket to stop that alternator from flopping around like that, nice car to...

There's nothing like the sweet sound of a split manifold straight 8. Gorgeous pair of deuces too. Have you got the car together yet?
