Skylarks, GSXs, Grand Nationals, Rivieras, Gran Sports; the list
of formidable performance Buicks is impressive. From the torque monsters
of the 1960s to the high-flying Turbo models of the '80s, Buicks have a
unique place in performance history.
During the 1960s, when word of the mountains of torque supplied by the
big-inch Buicks hit the street, nobody wanted to mess with them. Later,
big-inch Buicks and the Hemi Chryslers went at it hammer and tongs in
stock drag shootouts and in the pages of the popular musclecar magazines
of the day. The wars between the Turbo Buicks and Mustang GTs in the
1980s were also legendary, as both cars responded so well to
modifications.
How to Build Max-Performance Buick Engines is the first performance
engine book ever published on the Buick family of engines. This book
covers everything from the Nailheads of the '50s and early '60s, to the
later evolutions of the Buick V-8 through the '60s and '70s, through to
the turbo V-6 models of the '70s and '80s. Veteran magazine writer and
Buick owner Jefferson Bryant supplies the most up-to-date information on
heads, blocks, cams, rotating assemblies, interchangeability, and
oiling-system improvements and modifications, along with details on the
best performance options available, avenues for aftermarket support, and
so much more. Finally, the Buick camp gets the information they have
been waiting for, and it's all right here in How to Build
Max-Performance Buick Engines.
