[QUOTE=skids72]If at all practical, it would really be cool to bring that fireball straight 8 back to life of course this will be more difficult and expensive than v8..."
That body's a beauty. If it has any rust it isn't visible from where I sit!
I agree with skids72. Those straight-eight Buicks had a sound all their own and it has been a long time since most people were privileged to hear one, particularly one coupled to the famous Dynaflow automatic transmission (us wiseasses called them "Dyna-flush").
Does yours have the automatic? If so, you may get a strange look from the guy at the transmission shop.
Congratulations on the find.

Thanks guys! It's been a long road. Fun doing finishing work for sure. Getting the dash ready for paint and some interior trim. Have to do some finish work on the aluminum headliner before...
