    I've got a '56 Special sedan with the original 322/Dynaflow setup. The engine needs rebuilt and the trans. isn't that great either. I recently met a guy at a show who had a '56 Special wagon. He said he'd sell me the engine & tranny (he's planning on installing a Corvette LS motor and...

    '56 Buick Special Carb Question
