I have a set of 16x7 Torq Thrust II's with 80-90% Uniroyal tires that are taking up room in the garage. I'm pretty sure they are 3.5 backspace. They came off of a Monte SS and fit really nice. Tires are 225-60-16 and have lots of tread. I bought them to put on my Nova Wagon but they are just...

I thought I'd post here first to avoid shipping. I sold my car last year and have moved on to other things for now and need to clean out my Buick stuff. If somebody wants to come by today, I'm cleaning out the garage and need to make some room. Here's a rough list of what I can think of off...

I found a set of ARP head and main bolts that came off of my motor before I tore it down and put it back together with studs. They are used and dirty but in good usable shape. They were good enough to get me into the 11.30's until the timing chain let go. I can get pics if you need them but...

Any idea what an 87 V8 T is worth. The car runs and drives and has light rust from the pics. It has chrome trim. Could you get the T package in a limited? It looks like a limited. Anyway just a ballpark value to see if it worth looking at. Thinking of building a turbo LS motor. Steve

Does anyone know anything about ATV repair? The other day I tried to start the Rhino and nothing. All fuses checked out so I replaced the starter relay with the only one I could find locally and it is not a Yamaha OEM part. Now it starts but thestarter keeps cranking even after the engine...

I have some parts that need to go: Stock headers w/crossover- Drivers side has been repaired and I don't think it has cracked again. I removed them because I got a killer deal on a set of ATR's -$150.00 plus shipping Two stock style DPs- I believe one is actually the OEM part and the...

Need some money to expand the business and need to sacrifice one of my toys. Hopefully I'll be in the market for a new one next fall, but for now the money is more important. The car: Originally an '84 N/A car according to the VIN and was put together by a local guy that was into Buicks in...

Hey, I stopped by a local shop here in St. Louis to see a friend of ours and there was a GN in there with a built LS3 with Florida plates. It had hand controls. Just wondering who's it was. I forgot to ask my buddy who it belongs to. NICE clean car and the V-8 looks really nice in there...

After over a year, I've finally got the motor back in my car and everything hooked up, installed, and plugged in. After double and triple checking everything I could think of I went to crank it over with the ECM unplugged to verify oil pressure and I'm getting nothing but clicks and even a...

Does anyone have a picture of their engine with the AC eliminator pulley installed on the factory bracket. I've got the idler/tensioner and power steering all figured out but I eliminated my AC compressor and don't remember what goes where and attaches to what and how the alternator mounts to...

In anticipation of reinstalling my motor I made a priming tool last night. I cut the blade of a large flat screwdriver at its widest point and then rounded it off with a dremel to fit an old oil pump shaft I had laying around. Then I cut the handle off the screwdriver so it would fit in the...

What started out as a simple search here has now got me puzzled. I was looking for the correct orientation for the rocker shaft assemblies as I'm trying to finish up the top side of the new motor. Basically I was just looking to confirm which side was L/R and came across the service diagram...

I'm looking for a set of iron heads with a port and polish. Doesn't need to be a full race port, just something to pickup the flow a little and not break the bank. Complete or bare I don't really care since I have new springs and retainers from my roller kit. If anybody has a set laying...

I've got about 1/8" interference with the oil pan and #4 main cap stud on the pass. side. I thought the pan was hitting the pick up tube but I took it off and still have the same problem. I cleaned and chased the holes before I put the studs in so they should be in all the way. It's hard to...

As I was test fitting my balancer into my front cover last night, I noticed my reluctor ring was bent. I must have hit it with the prybar when I was taking the balancer off. I tried to bring it back around but it was too far off and now has a small wrinkle in it. Should I try to find a whole...

It looks like a shim of some kind. It's epoxied or JB Welded to the block and has a fair amount of scuffing on it. I noticed it when I tore the motor down and thought my machinist would have seen it before but he hadn't. It's coming loose on one side and was just about to pull it off and...

Never installed full set Pro-Gram steel main caps. Bought last year from board member and I never used them. They were sold to me as correct caps for 109 block even though the boxes say 4.1. $450.00 plus shipping

There's a cruise Saturday night @ JJ's in St. Charles MO. One of these days I'll see some Buick's at these things. Steve

The Wentzville Rod Run is tonight in downtown Wentzville MO. The town shuts down Pearce Blvd and has an open cruise. Should be a good time. I think they relaxed the age limit on the cars since it no longer coincides with the MAR Nostalgia drags. Last year I saw lots of newer cars there. I...

Maybe you older guys could help me out. What is the shift pattern on a manual column shift for a '57 Chevy. Which way is reverse, first etc? Thanks, Steve
