Just to let everyone know, Alradco is still around and selling radiators. I called them up and got a call back within a day and ordered their black radiator for the Buick. They had two left. The radiator was at my house in less then a week. Very nice piece. Pics below are with my Intrepid...
Believe it or not still at it with the car. Lost the apply band on the ~8 year old Lonnie built transmission back in Sept of 15'. Rebuilt the trans myself in July (with Lonnie's awesome help) and put a few 100 miles on the car on waste gate spring. Took it to the track on Friday and went my...

Car was down for almost 2 years and wanted to update the results of my 4.1 production build. The evolution of the car is listed in my signature. Earl Brown provided the pistons and it was difficult to find a usable 4.1 production core. The motor ended up with a girdle and static compression...
