I owned several Buicks but I stoped buying them when they did away with the nail valve.<br>I bought a new Riviera in 65 that was a great car.

Just think if NASCAR didn't find out who built the Buick engine the car and the engine would of set new track records.

I had a 67 Rivera with the 430 cid wildcat and switch pitch transmission. Oh she ran excellent in stock form. I rebuilt the engine and bored and stroked it. And she was wicked quick for being in a heavy land yacht. Wish i hadn't sold her.

If the 1953 B body cars couldn’t fit the Buick straight 8 how did the 1953 Buick Specials have straight 8’s and not a v8 nailhead?
