Found, what I believe to be, a 1979 Buick Turbo Regal engine for $250. Figured it wasn't a bad price to take a long shot on for the block, pistons, rods, heads, crank, cam, exhaust, turbo (no carb). I bought the engine disassembled and it came with an intake with the turbo setup and another extra intake without a turbo.
As we are going through the engine, a couple things are not lining up.
The block casting number is 1254083. On various sites, that says it is a 1977-78 N/A or 1978 Turbo.
Can anyone confirm?
Is there a definitive source of casting numbers (service manual, GM documentation, etc.)?
Thanks!
