Saw this yesterday afternoon while I was picking up my rods an pistons at the machine shop. My machinist had found a 49 Buick 4 door sedan in a yard full of weeds while driving by. The car has a Straight 8 engine. He had the engine out and disassembled in the shop. Then he said "Let me show you something else" . He walked me over to look at an all aluminum V8 Buick block he was working on. This was out of a Triumph TR8 from the 60's. I had never heard of these Buick engines much less ever seen them. He also had a Chevy 409 , GM 2-4's aluminum intake for Q jet.
He is going to build a Rat Rod with the Straight 8 in it.
