    Good stuff. Love Buicks, first car was a '69 LeSabre 400 with the high output 350 4 barrel when I was 15. That was 18 years ago now. Sadly the Wisco winters got to her too much before i got it, but i will always love that car and miss it dearly... Got a G-body project now, love them too, but just isn't the same as that car. Need another classic Buick in my life soon.
    Going to be maybe finding a SBB 300/340/350 or maybe Nailhead 264/322/364/401/425 to find for it and rebuild myself soon. Thinking Nailhead just to be different.. Good vids, like your channel!

      Nailheads are sweet, and yeah, when it's done, I guess you're gonna need a car for the engine! And wow thanks for the positive feedback and thank you for watching!

      You are welcome! For the time being, might just drop it in the G-body for now, see how that goes. Should be fun

    Yo I have a 1970 skylark 350 4barrel and I was wondering from your tear down did you do the honing and boring ?? And did you buy a new crank or balanced it ??

    Awesome video! Im finally starting to get my own 69 skylark (350) back on the road but have some trouble with fuel not reaching the engine from the tank🤦🏼‍♂️ did you have any problems with fuel lines? My car runs fine if i but a gasline straight from carburator to a 2 gallon fuel bucket so i think it must be something in the fuel lines😕

    • @langspeedcycle
      @langspeedcycle  Год назад

      Yeah I had to run all new lines since mine were toast

      I still have the original engine, but it's in ROUGH shape. Maybe one day it'll be all Buick again, but the ole Vortec hums pretty good! I'm happy to keep the car alive more than anything! Thanks for watching!

      I too was very disappointed, that's why I originally started watching your channel.

      @timblaes7028 buick engine's are not cheap to rebuild, the Chevy swap does piss off purists. But it's hard to argue the initial cost, reliability, parts availability, and not to mention, i got 22 mpg on a roadtrip with this thing. Thanks for watching my stuff!
