  • Um, is this a complete coincidence or is your license plate referencing the Cummins 6BT straight-6 turbodiesel and the 13B Mazda rotary engine? Because if that's the case that's pretty much the most awesome incidental vanity plate I've seen.

  • did u guys ever get the engine rebuilt?

  • oh shit !!!

  • Buick Straight Eights have a very Tractor like low-end torque band and cannot tolerate RPMs. The power is in the stroke and bore not the RPMs. Way too many chevy and ford neanderthals out there.  Pity

  • Something drops below the bumper or i'm wrong?? By the way nice Buick.

  • Were the conrod bearing shells or cast-in whitemetal? Whitemetal could extrude and open a clearance under supercharging like that. If you listen carefully you can hear noise in the last power up and a definite swing just before the rod lets go.

    Rather a pity that the population of good extant examples has gone down by one more.

  • @rrivas001 Crankshaft whip: That's why the last mercedes straight 8 engines such the one that had the 300 SLR took the power form a gear located in the middle of the crankshaft instead of the end of it.

  • what happended at last? Was a thrown rod? a crankkshaft failure?

    Anyway... when the first hard run was performed, some smoke started to emerge from the engine, indicating that something wasn't working properly.

  • @saintdude1 totally agree

  • I keep telling folks they don't make cars like they used to. Hard to find new cars like this stock these days. ;)
