Does anybody know how to remove the rear seat back? I got the bottom out and then removed 2 screws holding the lower edge of the seat back to the floor. No amount of manipulating has gotten the top edge of the seat back to let go. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

I am trying to remove the bell housing from a '53 263 standard shift engine. I can't figure out how to get access to the two uppermost bolts. I've looked at the service manual on this site but its not clear to me how to get those two bolts out. It appears I need to get them from inside the...

Has anyone put hardened valve seats in one of these? I've looked at the cross sections provided on this site and it doesn't look good, but I just thought I'd ask if anybody had any first hand knowledge of trying this. Thanks

I am beginning to build another 350. This time, since I have a well equipped machine shop in my garage, I am doing the block prep myself. I have a couple of questions. Most of the published advice says to open the main bearing feeds to 5/16" on numbers 2, 3 and 4. Does anybody know why not...

I aquired a BOP aluminium bell housing and a Buick flywheel. I don't know if the flywheel is from a V6 or a V8. The casting number is 1257035-2. It bolts up to a 350 crank but doesn't seem to have any provisions for any particular clocking. The tooth count and diameter are the same as the...

67/68 GM A-body tilt steering columns are not common. I have been looking for one for my 68 Skylark project for some time. Most of the after market suppliers make them but they are expensive and I am cheap. As I understand it, tilt was a luxury option and most folks who bought A-bodies...

I am building a Buick Skylark 350 for street/parking lot use. I do not want to use long tube headers and can't find anyone who makes shortys. The original manifolds on my 1968 engine accept 2" down pipes. Do any of the later manifolds or those for a GS accept larger or am I going to be stuck...
