455 buick skylark stage 2 Idle

[m11944]

Very cool. My dad had a 71 GS Stage 1 with a built 455. It was his daily driver and it ran a high 10 sec 1/4 mile.

[dicktheguncheney]

the big block Buick is the best sounding engine in the world.

[6point1man]

Beautiful and sounds great. The only thing I don't like is the fuel pump hanging out back but that's just me. Nice car!

[Oldsmob455]

@6point1man I would be worried about the filter getting ripped off the car hanging down like that.

[6point1man]

@Oldsmob455 Yeah, especially when he gets on it and does a wheelie!

[cheetoo69]

iv got one of these and its wanted by the state cause iv out ran the cops in it 12 times 350 and strong as hell hard the new dodge charger cop cars are fast but lets see them chase me into a orange grove at night going 70

[madundy]

which track do you race at? SIR, Bremerton?

[kaferman62]

Love it! These and the GS's have to be the most underrated car of that era.

[sep455]

Where can I find a hood scoop like that?

[sewaseed777]

That is the finest sounding Buick I have ever heard. I have a 71 GS Im working on slowly. It has a 455 in it and I swapped the orig trans for a th400 that has racing guts in it. I do have one question as of right now. What crank are you using in this? I would love to build the exact engine u have in this car. Cant stop listening to its sound!

[TerminatorFRA]

Good to see that you put rims that are in relation with the car and not for low profile tires. ;)

[XeXbanqz]

sounds beautiful my dad has that same car except its flat black

[snowman4839]

[Russ641]

[Arcticun]

Looks amazing. I'm in the process of restoring a 1972 Buick GSX. Building a seperate engine aswell, 455 bored 0.30 and .600 lift etc. I was just wondering, where did you get that hood?

Been searching for a long time for it.

[whamo1966]

@Arcticun thats a stock skylark hood with a fiberglass stage 2 scoop cut in.

[germz43]

[1973camarolt]

The Centerlines look really nice on it, good unit

[rjacks3]

Nice car! I've got a "72 with just about the same build on the motor. Runs 11.10-11.00 all day long. Good luck,sounds strong! Check out my video, search "PINKS at MIR"
