    No info, but I like what I see. I put a 401 in a "57" Chevy way back in 1963. Loved it. That was a popular swap back then.

    I put a 364 ci nail head in my 57 Chevy when I was in the Navy in Calif.. I made the mistake of hooking the Buick eng. up to the 3 speed trans, cost a lot for the flywheel and clutch etc.. I would do everything different today but then I'm a little smarter too. It ran like a mad dog, wow, it was fun.
