Opening bid lowered! No Reserve

For your Big Block Buick project! 1976 Buick 455. I am a lifelong Buick hobbyist &

40 year member of the Buick Club of America. Now that I am retired,

I like to build Buick (and Cadillac) big blocks

from this era and usually have one or two in progress at any given time.

I prefer to build these Buick beauties to stock specifications and let the buyer

decide to use it as is; or modify it for their application. I do this so that the restorers are

not left out! Many times these engines appear for sale, but are built for high performance.

In actuality, these engines in stock form perform beautifully, will still "burn rubber", but

run great on today's pump gas.

This engine is pictured in it's pure "high-nickel" content bare casting state. Note the silvery luster

to the casting. Buicks and Cadillacs of the day had very high nickel content. I think they

are great looking in bare form, so I don't paint them before I sell them.

The only painted items you see are the exhaust manifolds, valve covers, timing cover.

Since it is a 1976 motor

a restorer may wish to paint it "GM Corp. Blue", which was correct from 1975. If your intent is to put into

a Buick from 1967-1974 then "Buick Red" will be your choice.

I have used ALL quality, name brand USA engine parts (Mahle, Sealed Power, Hastings, Melling, Cloyes, Clevite, etc)

This motor was carefully disassembled, inspected and then sent off to the machine shop to have

the crank ground .010 & align bored accordingly; a complete valve job with new guides, seals, etc. Only one exhaust valve was

suspect...so, it was replaced. Once it had been hot tanked and magna fluxed my machine shop owner

then carefully miked the bores and confirmed that this motor need not be bored! It was treated to

a methodical honing as can be seen in the pre-assembly photos. They installed all new cam bearings, new oil galley plugs, freeze plugs, etc. NO skimping on machine shop operations, but keeping it a stock build up keeps the costs down

for the new owner!

I installed a new (stock 1976 spec) cam, lifters, bearings, rings, and used a Fel-Pro gasket set.

As far as upgrades ......

I always use T/A performance timing cover and rear main seals upgrades as opposed to the

rope seals used in the 60s and 70s. This is a must due to the unreliability of the newer

"asbestos free" rope seals. These upgrades are a must for a nice dry engine!

Also, I always install all new oil pump components & add the machined thrust plate (see pics)

for the new oil pump gears to ride on. This eliminates any concern about the wear on

the timing cover surface. You'll note that the oil pump has been

pre-packed with petroleum jelly (as spec.d by the service manual) to ensure

instant oil priming on initial start-up.

The motor also has been treated to a new water pump.

I am selling this engine as shown, but if your requirements do not include the stock intake, carb, or

HEI distributor, or exhaust manifolds then we can adjust accordingly. If you prefer a different

spec cam or valve train ... let me know before end of auction.

I also have pulleys, starters, alternators, brackets, etc. for these 455's if you wish to add them to

your purchase. Contact me prior to auction end to work out YOUR needed configuration or any other questions you

may have. Bid with confidence! I am a hobbyist not a dealer and have a flawless feedback score!

No shipping, pick up only ...HOWEVER, I will work with you to get it palletized and

be available for your chosen shipper to pick it up. I charge $75 for palletizing.

PAYPAL ONLY, Please!

I'll deliver within 200 miles for gas money.

VW Polo facelift (2014) first official pictures

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

By Ollie Kew First Official Pictures 28 January 2014 10:00 Subtle facelift hides bigger changes underneath This is the new VW Polo to face-off the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. The irony in this car arriving stems from the trouble that the German maker has faced in the US – where VW board members have blamed long model cycles with minor facelifts such as this – as the reason why sales fell and its North America boss stepped down late last year. At least the new Polo brings some welcome changes under that barely-changed sheetmetal.

McLaren mysteries: Some things you might not know about the P1 and its maker

Fri, 03 May 2013

The McLaren P1 is one of the most spectacular supercars in the world, and it's been an object of fixation for enthusiasts since it debuted as a concept last fall in Paris. The basics are well known: a 903-hp hybrid powertrain, carbon-fiber for almost everything, and taut, curvaceous styling that introduces McLaren to a fresh generation. The P1 grew out of a somewhat hokey mission statement that McLaren produced back in 2009.
