	Buick V8 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another Buick "400" engine was a member of the 400/430/455 family and was produced from 1967 to 1969.
		It was the standard engine on the Invicta, 1959-66 Electra, 1962-66 Buick Wildcat, 1963 Riviera and 1965 Riviera (the 64 and 66 Riviera models had a 425 in³ engine with a single 4 barrel carb.
		Originally intended for 180 in³ (2.9 L) displacement, Buick was designated by GM as the engine design leader, and decided to begin with a larger, 215 in³ (3.5 L) size, which was deemed ideal for the new "senior compact cars" introduced for the 1961 model year.

	Buick Straight-8 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Buick Straight-8 engine was produced from 1931 to 1953 and sold in Buick automobiles.
		The engine was sold in different displacements depending on the model of car and the year.
		The last year for Buick's straight-8 was 1953, when the new V8 took over.

	Buick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buick began consolidating its lineup in 2005, replacing the Century and Regal with the LaCrosse, and the LeSabre and Park Avenue with the Lucerne in 2006.
		It appears Buick may be preparing to abandon this styling cue for a new waterfall grille, as seen on the Buick Velite concept car from 2004 and the Buick Lucerne introduced for the 2006 model year.
		The Buick V8 engine, nicknamed the "nailhead", became popular with hot-rodders in the 1950s and 1960s, because the vertical attachment of the valve covers, in contrast to the angled attachment of other V-8 engines, enabled the engine to fit into smaller spaces while maintaining easy access for maintenance.

	[No title]
		Although Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac also designed V8 engines (see list of GM engines), it was Chevrolet's 350 in³ small-block that became the GM corporate standard.
		The 327 in³ (5.4 L) V8, introduced in 1962, was bored and stroked to 4 in (102 mm) by 3.25 in.
		The engine's physical dimensions (oversquare 4.00 in bore and 3.48 in stroke, 102 mm by 88 mm) are nearly identical to the 400 hp (300 kW) LS2 engine of today, but of course much has changed.

		Both versions of the engine were used this year, the 3800 being optional on most Lesabres, but standard in the T-type.
		The Buick designed V8 was replaced by a Cast Iron V6 version, and the design and tooling was sold to Rover, where it is still used today.
		In the mid 80's the Buick V6 was adapted to FWD for the new H-bodies.

	Buick Spin-On Oil Filter Conversions
		The oil filter on these engines is not directly mounted to the engine block (like a Chevy V8), but is instead mounted to a small adaptor that is in turn bolted to the engine block.
		The engine block for a 1959 or 1960 Nailhead is close enough to the earlier engines that the factory oil filter adaptor from those two years can be used to mount a spin on filter to the earlier engines.
		Pretty much every Buick V8 engine from the 1959 364/401 Nailheads, through the 400/430/455 engines, and to the last Buick 350 engines in 1981 uses the same oil filter mounting.

	Novak Conversions - General Engine Conversion Options
		If too small an engine is used for the work to be done, it will operate at low vacuum for longer periods and use more gas than a larger engine that would not be working as hard.
		Engine and vehicle management computers are now a major part of modern automotive systems, and therefore, a significant concern when doing a conversion.
		These engines have been popular choices since the mid-sixties, and because they are so familiar, the information and parts required to swap them are more widely available.

	1955 Buick V8
		In bringing forth their new 1955 V8 engine, Buick engineers started with what was already the world's most advanced V8 design.
		The lightest of all V8 engines with the same power output -- for better balance to the car's total weight, with improved steering, handling and performance.
		Now, illustrated here, are the 1955 Buick V8 features which produce such thrilling new performance -- and with new gasoline savings that give you as much as 4.8 miles more per gallon than Buicks of six years ago.

		I was surprised at the turnout since many Buick owners from the local area appeared for the event and some left late Friday from the surrounding areas/states to make the drive to the track.
		Buick cranks with "N" cast onto the first counterweight are exactly the same as ones without the N. The reason for the N designation was for cranks cast at the Defiance OH plant.
		All Buick engines before 1990 are off-set engines (the center of the bore does not line up with the center of the crankshaft rod journal).

	Famous Rover V8 Engine Saved - Jalopnik
		Derived from an all-aluminum V8 that GM created in 1961 for Buicks and Oldsmobiles (the Buick 215 and Olds Jetfire turbo), the lightweight engine and its tooling was sold to Rover in 1964.
		In the ensuing decades, the V8 found its way into Rover cars, MGs, Triumphs, Land Rovers and Morgans (and on and on), moving from 3.5 liters to 4.6 liters (in the previous-generation LR Discovery).
		Some historic footnotes: -The 215-inch aluminum V8 was developed by Oldsmobile, back when each GM division designed & built their own engines.

		Buick began consolidating its lineup in 2005, replacing the Century and Regal with the LaCrosse, and the LeSabre and Park Avenue with the Lucerne the next year.
		The source of this design feature was a custom car (one not made by Buick), which in addition had a flashing light within each hole, each synchronized with a specific spark plug - a feature not used by Buick.
		The one Buick styling cue (dating from the 1940s) which has most often reappeared, though, is for the grille to be a horizontal oval with many thin vertical chromed ribs bulging forward.

	smallest v8 engine? - CarSpace Automotive Forums
		Oh, the use of aluminum engine blocks is as old as the hills, both in the U.S. and abroad, but most American companies in the 50s/60s did not have the experience necessary to do a good job of it.
		This engine had a 2.6x3.2 bore and stroke-and what I read says it was never very successful.
		Good memory, Wilcox....that Simca was called the Vedette, and the V-8 was only 143.5 CID (2350cc)...this engine is actually Simca's update of the old Ford flathead with its wheezy 85 hp, so it was no rocket by any means.
