What happened?!? I lost several pages of updates from 2020 and 2021. The new rear axle, front mount intercooler, methanol injection, coil over upgrades... ALL GONE!

I’d like to hear some points of view regarding which major purchase to do first. I see the advantages to alky being you can benefit from more boost right away. But the (relatively small) turbo upgrade I have in mind will increase efficiency, as long as I run it with sensible levels of boost...

Looking for the steel brackets that connect between the rubber engine mounts and the frame cross-member. I figure this will be much simpler than fabbing or modifying the stock frame stands on my '64 Special. Feel free to contact me with price/availability to zip 48350 (SE Michigan).

Hi All, I'm having a problem with the 1-2 upshift on my 2004R. The car doesn't want to shift from first to second whatsoever, at any throttle opening, unless I back off the throttle. This occurs when the car is fully warm mostly, but also to a lesser extent when cold. As far as car info - the...

Uh oh.. I was leaving a car show on Saturday, and decided to hammer the throttle a little. I seemed to feel a little “pop”, from lack of a better description. After letting off the throttle, I have no power above 1500rpm or so, and there is zero boost/spool-up. Vacuum remains apparently...

In a previous thread we discussed some issues I was having with getting my engine running correctly, after initial installation into a new chassis. Very helpful people helped me to establish I had fuel injector (minor) and MAF (major) issues. The car runs pretty darned well currently. However...

I've recently completed building a '64 Buick Special containing an '87 GN engine/trans. At the same time, I decided to switch the manual steering gear in the Special to a power unit from a GN, since the boxes are physically the same dimensions. I bought a re-manufactured gear and pump from Rock...

As the title suggests, what should I be doing to my car to get it ready for the new translator and MAF? 1) Wiring Requirements - what does the translator need (IGN power, GND, etc)? 2) Is there anything that needs to be prepped / adjusted on the car or the new MAF sensor / translator? Thanks...

Looking for anyone who may have an extra. Let me know if you have one!

I've just completed assembling a hybrid 1964 Buick Special and an '87 Grand National powertrain. I got the car started last evening, however the idle is not tuned. A little research on this site identified a nice procedure at the following link -...

Hi, looking for the "L" connector that attaches to the wastegate solenoid. See photo below - Thanks in advance,

I'm in the process of making a '64 Buick Special hybrid. I got a complete list of parts from the donor car, including the evap canister. Is there any reason why I cannot relocate the canister out of the engine compartment, towards the rear of the car? I prefer not to have to run a third fuel...

Thread to document the buildup of a low miles 1964 Buick Special with an engine/transmission from a 1987 Grand National. The car was purchased in the summer of 2017 from the second owner (I'm the third). It had about 55,000 documented miles. It's a post car with a 225 V6/ST300 2-speed auto. The...

I have a stock '86 engine harness and a Casper's jumper harness (p/n 109028) for sale. The Casper's harness is new/never installed. The stock harness was from a car that (I was told) had about 90k miles, and was from a well-running car "that rusted out around the engine". I haven't tested the...

Hi, my name is Tim and I'll be putting together a hybrid based on a '64 Buck Special and an engine/trans combo removed from an '87 GN. The current car has a 225 odd-fire V6/ST300 auto trans combo, which will make the physical packaging of the GN stuff pretty tidy. The car is a ~57,000 mile...
