Opening bid lowered! No Reserve

For your Big Block Buick project! 1976 Buick 455. I am a lifelong Buick hobbyist &

40 year member of the Buick Club of America. Now that I am retired,

I like to build Buick (and Cadillac) big blocks

from this era and usually have one or two in progress at any given time.

I prefer to build these Buick beauties to stock specifications and let the buyer

decide to use it as is; or modify it for their application. I do this so that the restorers are

not left out! Many times these engines appear for sale, but are built for high performance.

In actuality, these engines in stock form perform beautifully, will still "burn rubber", but

run great on today's pump gas.

This engine is pictured in it's pure "high-nickel" content bare casting state. Note the silvery luster

to the casting. Buicks and Cadillacs of the day had very high nickel content. I think they

are great looking in bare form, so I don't paint them before I sell them.

The only painted items you see are the exhaust manifolds, valve covers, timing cover.

Since it is a 1976 motor

a restorer may wish to paint it "GM Corp. Blue", which was correct from 1975. If your intent is to put into

a Buick from 1967-1974 then "Buick Red" will be your choice.

I have used ALL quality, name brand USA engine parts (Mahle, Sealed Power, Hastings, Melling, Cloyes, Clevite, etc)

This motor was carefully disassembled, inspected and then sent off to the machine shop to have

the crank ground .010 & align bored accordingly; a complete valve job with new guides, seals, etc. Only one exhaust valve was

suspect...so, it was replaced. Once it had been hot tanked and magna fluxed my machine shop owner

then carefully miked the bores and confirmed that this motor need not be bored! It was treated to

a methodical honing as can be seen in the pre-assembly photos. They installed all new cam bearings, new oil galley plugs, freeze plugs, etc. NO skimping on machine shop operations, but keeping it a stock build up keeps the costs down

for the new owner!

I installed a new (stock 1976 spec) cam, lifters, bearings, rings, and used a Fel-Pro gasket set.

As far as upgrades ......

I always use T/A performance timing cover and rear main seals upgrades as opposed to the

rope seals used in the 60s and 70s. This is a must due to the unreliability of the newer

"asbestos free" rope seals. These upgrades are a must for a nice dry engine!

Also, I always install all new oil pump components & add the machined thrust plate (see pics)

for the new oil pump gears to ride on. This eliminates any concern about the wear on

the timing cover surface. You'll note that the oil pump has been

pre-packed with petroleum jelly (as spec.d by the service manual) to ensure

instant oil priming on initial start-up.

The motor also has been treated to a new water pump.

I am selling this engine as shown, but if your requirements do not include the stock intake, carb, or

HEI distributor, or exhaust manifolds then we can adjust accordingly. If you prefer a different

spec cam or valve train ... let me know before end of auction.

I also have pulleys, starters, alternators, brackets, etc. for these 455's if you wish to add them to

your purchase. Contact me prior to auction end to work out YOUR needed configuration or any other questions you

may have. Bid with confidence! I am a hobbyist not a dealer and have a flawless feedback score!

No shipping, pick up only ...HOWEVER, I will work with you to get it palletized and

be available for your chosen shipper to pick it up. I charge $75 for palletizing.

PAYPAL ONLY, Please!

I'll deliver within 200 miles for gas money.

Caterham creates next car online

Wed, 05 Nov 2008

By Ben Whitworth Motor Industry 05 November 2008 10:08 Caterham has turned to cyberspace to design its next model – the low-volume carmaker is calling on fans around the world to log onto a bespoke website to submit their ideas and designs for every aspect of the new Caterham, before ultimately voting on what makes it to the final vehicle. The website – www.splitwheel.com - will act as a forum, hosting blogs, articles and what Caterham calls ‘a Wikipedia-style user-edited knowledge base’ to turn user input into a workable vehicle design. A comprehensive voting system that covers all aspects of the car will then be initiated, and once the final specification is agreed a prototype will be produced with initial production slated for 2011.
