Unusual but not rare to be honest. I've had several of them, other than the casting # it's a very early On Center block as you said. What's nice about these is the wet sump oil pickup provision. As far as it's value, I'm not honestly sure $4k as a guess.

It's sad to say but the market for a V6 powered race car which is for all intents and purposes an unfinished project is very small. They'll have a hard time selling it even at pennies on the dollar. It would probably make most sense to sell the car and engine separately.

Mike,
I appreciate the kind words. I planned to come but had flash backs of when I drove my GTO to an earlier GTG and had to park in the adjacent lot. :rolleyes: I still have a soft spot for Turbo Buicks and and the misfits who own them. I'm sure my next Regal is just around the corner. I'm...
Mike,
Thanks for putting this on. 👍 The So Cal Turbo Buick community is in debt to you, Eric and Ralph for all you do for the group! Truly the definition of "Going fast with class!"

I run the 275 drag radial on the back of my car. The wheels I have are a 4" backspacing and will rub a bit over larger bumps with passengers in the car. I'd say a 8" wheel with 1/2" more backspacing would fit perfectly. My wheels are cast 8.5" vectors so I didn't really have an option.
