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.
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.
