Sir, I have been informed to install between .006 - .007 endplay. Watch the gasket as it will compress. Mine moved about .004 after it torqued down during setup and I chased my Butt for awhile until the Board member came to my rescue. Bob

Roger that Mike. Thanks, Bob

Well it has started. The gents I bought the motor from said that it had a flat tappet cam in it. The cam or lifters did not come with the motor and I am thinking that it had a special cam/nose on the cam because I was mocking it up tonight and it appears to be offset about .100 to .120. I...

Mike, I believe Buick used the 016 casting to produce this block as it appears that the pickup was cast into it and it has the regular oil ports in the front of the block. The next thing that I have to figure out is the pulley alignment/front bracket. Bob

Gent's, The hunt is back on. Heads weren't what I was looking for. Let me know if you have any for sale. Thanks, Bob

Sir, Nice find. I have been looking for one of those setups for YEARS!!!!!!!!! Sorry not much help on the camshaft selection. Good luck with your project. Bob

Guy's, I believe that I found a set. Thanks, Bob
