No kidding! I warmed the car up this morning for about five minutes, and was impressed the inside of the car was actually warm in that time. Temp gauge was a bit under the 160*F mark and plenty of warm air coming out the vents. I was estatic :D

Re: The Silver Buick's well Silver Buick!

Thanks. Laid two healthy patches of rubber with it today as a test, strictly as a test ;D

I can't WAIT to do that again!

Hey Randal, quick question... do you think that trans tunnel is big enough for a C6?

[squirrel]

Re: The Silver Buick's well Silver Buick!

302 or 460 type C6?

[Tom Slick]

Re: The Silver Buick's well Silver Buick!

460 type, passenger car (not sure if there's any difference)

Re: The Silver Buick's well Silver Buick!

The front of the bellhousing where it fits on the engine is pretty tall on that trans, some even have extra ribs to make them taller.

Re: The Silver Buick's well Silver Buick!

hmm. I was looking for a comparison picture on Bing and my "th400 Buick" image query brought up a picture of Randal's motorsiccle from Carcraft. Pffft.

It is tall. Guess I'll need a bigger hammer.

Thanks Jim, Sorry for jacking your thread Randal. Carry on.

Re: The Silver Buick's well Silver Buick!

Eyeballing the picture Squirrel posted, I think it would clear. There is a fair amount of room immedately behind the engine. If it's a 460 install, I guess it'd just depend on the engine set back.

Re: The Silver Buick's well Silver Buick!

It'd be worth a try. I found a '74 Pontiac Phoenix that got me curious. Body is like your Buick. That and with you paying all that attention to the OHC, I didn't want your car to get jealous from no attention and do something like spit out a cam. :P

Re: The Silver Buick's well Silver Buick!

:P

iirc, the '74 has a different front subframe and firewall than my car.

I went out and warmed up the Skylark to get it out of it's ice prison, and when I went to move it, I found the brake pedal went right to the floor > Couple more checks and it wouldn't build pressure. Popping the hood and checking the master cylinder, and the front resevoir is dry > Snow is melting all around it, so I can't tell if there is brake fluid on the ground or which wheel it is > Maybe tomorrow I'll see about looking into it.

Dontcha just love snow? We got 20" last week, 6" Friday with another big storm coming Tues >

Re: The Silver Buick's well Silver Buick!

Yeah, I cleared about 18 inches of snow off the car before I started it, weather forecasts call for 30% chance of snow tomorrow, but it likely won't be much if it does.
