It's safe enough, read the traditional hot rods bit and what the board is all about.

Click on the Jalopy Journal link at the top of the page as well.
Lots of interesting stuff there.

Had to add the x here cuz it won't accept two digit names.

So much for anonymity....

Really??? Only if you post before engaging your brain. But then again, I have seen some threads that can make your monitor appear to sizzle and smoke. But once cooler heads prevail, they usually tone down the
rhetoric.

I'd like to learn more about these "geriatric" engines.

I see names of several other young men in this thread who might be interested as well.

If anyone can advise me, I'll be available this evening right after bingo.

Like DennyW says - and only paraphrased a bit - an engine is an engine.

Pretty much the same, but different.
Lots of tricks to learn about them and Denny's probably forgotten more about the SBC than I ever knew.
Which - ain't a whole heckuva lot where I'm concerned.
Built a few, ran a couple, but the advantage for me was having a complete engine right up front.
Mix and match with the SBC can be tougher than a lot of guys think.

The big Buicks (68 to 75 430's and 455's) have their own tricks.
More about making them live than making HP, but they'll do that too if you put em together right.


More than meets the eye in these two pics.
