BUILD I respect wood. I revere wood. I'm considerate of wood.

Cool ride, man I remember these. First thing I'd do is check rear gears. I thought some of these came with abysmal 2.73s or similar. L99 or LT-1?

If it's a healthy LT-1 I dunno I'd probably do a water pump/opti while shoving a CC503 Cam in and some springs at the same time provided you have enough gear. A stall and some headers with that and a good gear ratio and she'll move pretty well. Obviously times have changed but gen 2s are still solid performance engines unlike most of the SBCs produced for 20 years before it.

Someone stole some Roadmaster Wheels for you it seems. The rear has settled more than the front based on how I remember these.

Needs a set of lt1 aluminum heads also

 

[DEEZUZ]

I propose we put the caprices 6.0 in it which I think is the plan..?

 

[DEEZUZ]

I recall that they flow the same, just lighter weight. I can be corrected though

Might be right on that. 94-96 Impala ss were iron head motors.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Fuck. Yes.

I am seconding, thirding, fouthing, etc on this.

Fuck. Yes.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

And yes, B-Bodies got iron heads for the LT1. Only Vette's and F-Bodies got the aluminum heads

 

[GTPpower]

Badass. Love these.

The nice thing about the Buick b bodies is that they ALL had the iron headed LT1, no l99s to be found.

That’s actually the origin of the LT1 in my gta, though only the short block remains.

 

[sktchy3.8]

I just came here to say Fuck. Yes. For like like 7th time

There's a dude here with one of these with a turbo LS and another with a Cummins in it and they're rad as hell. Seen the ls one do some real nasty late night mexico shit.

It’s a 2.56 pegleg. I have a Yukon limited slip on the shelf for it. I’d like to get a mid 3.xx for it and get that put in at some point.


It’s got a brand new water pump on it. Stock oem for optispark seems to be the best. Reman ones seem to be trash, I did get another backup opti with the car he had for if it ever went.


They’re factory wheels….it’s a roadmaster

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I need to figure out how to slip an ls swap thru emissions without causing any issues. I picked up a $400 4.8 a few weeks ago that was either for my cucv when it blows up or a wagon.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Fuck. YES.

Again.

 

[sktchy3.8]

3.73s and spray the absolute piss out of this thing and it'll be a blast.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Was this the guy that wasn't responding to you?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Was this the guy that wasn't responding to you?

No…..wait which one? this guy posted this Monday night, I texted him I’d like to stop by in the morning to check it out. Drove 70 miles straight north and decided for the price it was worth buying. Had a friend drive me back up there this morning to bring it home.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I was thinking of the one you posted in the facebook or similar thread in the lounge where the guy ghosted you on a Roadie.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

So many turkeys ghosted me. Still waiting on pics from some old man in Alabama

 

[Yaj Yak]

We're gonna need Shawn1112's wheels.

And lots of Sawzall blades.

 

[guspech750]

Yeah. These are legit cool cars. Nice find. Love it.

I’d love build an SS wagon if I one of these.

 

[Stink Star]

Torque thrust II wheels immediately!

Aren’t all the B-body cars 2 bolt mains though?

People stuff big wheels without issues it seems.

I’m shopping wheels every chance I get

Far as I know only the vettes and lt4 camaro SS got 4 bolt mains.


Hasn’t seemed to cause an issue with me revving the shit out of my lt1. But, when I had it rebuilt it was redone with all arp hardware and balances to hell and back.
