After almost 2 years at the machine shop (I told them No Rush since my back was messed up for a year) then a week in my Yukon & we finally put it on the stand today. This being my last build I am adding all the name brand goodies that I have stashed away over the last 2 years. Only choice I need to make is which roller lifters I use. I have Comp now & they are amazingly quiet compared to some I've heard in friends cars. Probably stay around the 210-215 area for the cam again. This will be a long term project but I'll take some pics now & then to post up after I actually start into it. Feels good to have another project in the shop again. That's the longest my shop has had no engine to play with in my spare time. Now that my back is ok I'm planning to enjoy this once I finally get going on it. Thanks to all the Buick sites & Tech guys over the years, who have helped me to better understand this part of the hobby!
Cheers!!
PS: Somehow when I posted this 2 hours ago I thought I was on This Site but I was on TB? ??? ? I'm losing it! :icon_eyes: :icon_redface:

Sounds like an enjoyable project David! Good Luck......it will be therapeutic for you to get away and work on this for a bit. Then to taste the fruits of your efforts in the spring!
Hey, I've got something you might want to use for this (your last build).
LMK.
thx.

Those are nice. Do they clear roller rockers? I got a set off Tim but may still be interested in yours. We can talk tomorrow.
I agree the engine will be good a good project to keep me busy. :player:
When ready my current engine will be sold as a complete running engine that will just drop in & go! I have a couple names on the list already!
