As most of you know I have been passionate about building Buick 350s for quite a while now.... I am beginning to compile my mountains of information to write a book about Buick small blocks (215,300,340, and 350). In this book there will be a section for "readers rides" so to speak so this is your chance to get in on this fun! If you have a Buick engine in a Jeep or other make that is fine too.
This will be the run down so copy and paste this into an e-mail, fill in your details and pics and send it to me at sean-gaskin@hotmail.com:
-Owners name and location
-Model, year of vehicle and engine size
-Total miles
-Miles on engine and year if different
-Rear end gear ratio and stall speed of torque converter if not stock
-brand and size of rear tires
-1/4 mile or 1/8th mile times including 60 foots and MPH (dyno info is good too)
-If raced list the rpm you leave the line as well as shift points and weight
Information about your engine:
-Rebuilt or not
-Static compression ratio (state whether estimated or measured)
-Carburetor (If you know the jetting let me know)
-Ignition (also timing specs)
-Intake manifold
-Cylinder heads (if ported and you have flow numbers add them, if valves are oversized state sizes)
-Pistons and overbore size (cast, hyper or forged)
-Connecting rod
-Camshaft (specs and how it is degreed)
-Exhaust (headers or not as well as pipe diameters)
-Any oiling modifications
-Any power adders
-Engine builder
Please give as much detail about each of the above as possible and if your engine components are stock just list stock beside the item. If unknown just leave it blank.
I am also doing several in depth multipage articles on Buick 350 builds and there is one spot available so please let me know in your e-mail if you are interested in that!
