Here are some V8 Amazon pics I have collected, and the '28 Buick.

This is the 'ole Buick, used to be my grand dad's. We used to ride around in the back woods of PA in it when we were kids. It was a beat up old jalopy back then.

This is a nice looking car.

Very clean installation.

This guy installed a Mustang II front end. This allowed the use of stock Buick exhaust manifolds. Check out the cool steering mod.

Here is a Chevy 350 in an Amazon. It is set back to let the exhaust clear the front suspension.

Here is the inside of the same car.

Saamokin'... Lightin' em up!!

This is a nice looking job from Europe. That is the Rover engine(same as Buick).Check out the dual side draft carbs. This car still has the original fire wall, heater, and is stick shift. All the rest of the cars here are automatics.

Dave your project is an inspiration. After reading your pages, I butchered mine up for the 351W I had sitting around.

hey nice ride man, me and my dad were thinkinking of doing a v-6 swap instead of a v-8 because of the same reason, gas mileage. which v-6 would you recommend? which has better gas mileage? which has the best horsepower for its size,gas mileage, and weight? sorry about all the questions, its just im an aspiring master technician and i thought a little more knowledge wouldn't hurt. please write back to me on my page. under revline_volvo or the chalupa.
