New guy from Pittsburgh, PA

Hey all. I'm a school bus shop foreman from Pittsburgh, PA. My g3 ride is a '73 Buick Century 4 door. It had a 350-2 barrel, that was not healthy and i blew up. Then i put a '73 455 from a riviera in it. Re-gasketed and gone through with lots of new parts. I have under $1500 in a sleeper/daily driver/work in progress that runs great and surprises alot of people. I am also working on a '75 Pontiac Catalina that i'm swapping a built Caddy 500 into.

WELCOME!!!!!!

Welcome! Sounds like a kick-A$$ combination of vehicles and powertrains.

hey CAdtorque welcome aboard feel free to psot up some pics when you get time I sure would like to see some action shots of that monster.........sound like some kewl builds........................

WELCOME ABOARD BUDDY

Welcome! Sounds like a sweet ride!

I just LOVE sleepers. You have some good stuff there. Welcome aboard. JB

Welcome to the forum! That Buick sounds very cool.

Here are some pics for ya! Sorry no action shots yet, though.

How well does it corner? JB

It's not too bad. i feel like if i had wider tires up front, it would corner better. it's got stock springs and new shocks. I think that the extra weight of the big block was offset by the removal of the A/C compressor, condenser and lines.

i think if i pulled up to that car at a light i would not question it for the wide tires on the back and nice sounding exhaust, I would just roll with it

love the stance brother, now find some dog dish buick center caps and be all set

Thanks, limey. and speaking of stance- your laguna or malibu, or whatever it originally was looks sick with the slots and tunnel ram. i was looking at your project pics thread, and i can def appreciate your style. You'd be happy to know that my other project (catalina w/ cadillac 500) has big 'n little cragar ss's and big block chevy fenderwell headers with no inner wells. and i've been throwing around the idea of a buick stage 2 mailbox scoop on a blacked out hood.

MAN YOU AND MONEYPIT NEED TO MEET UP HE HAS OR HAD THAT SAME SCOOP ON HIS CAR


And mine is a 76 Laguna bro

and cough up them cragar's bro need them for blackie (75 El Camino arriving tomm morning) It has some cragar streetstars on it, but dont like running the same wheels the previous owner did WANNA SWAP ?? lol

just yanks the ol skool cragar ss's off the 73 SS tonight, install some cragar steel street stars. Pics coming soon. the cragar ss was 10 wide and 4 wide. 15".

Love the 4 door big block with big n lils
So heres the question im always asked, why a 4 door?

I got a 71 malibu 4 door that I got from Rago on here, I got a 427 in the works for it right now, but the original 350 is still kicking hard at the moment, Its all original too. Still has GM belts and the AC works.

Welcome I just came back from Sarver for my Caprice. You need a big engine to torque up them hills lol.
