By Mike Forsythe
B ring your old Buick engine back to life with this new, all-color Workbench-edition book. Buick has an interesting history with its 8-cylinder engines. In 1931, it began with the Straight-8 engine, using overhead valve (OHV) technol- ogy while most of the other manufacturers were using 4- or 6-cylinder valve-in-block designs. When all the GM divi- sions were converting to V-8 OHV postwar designs, Buick joined the party in 1953 with a design that was dubbed the “Nailhead.” This design lasted a little too long, and Buick finally replaced it in 1967 with a more modern design. The new design lasted until the mid-‘70s, when emissions compliance spelled the end for big-blocks, and in 1980 for the 350. In “Buick V-8 Engines 1967- 1980: How to Rebuild,” veteran author Mike Forsythe takes you through the complete process of rebuilding and restoring a Buick V-8 to factory condition. Covered in a thorough step-by-step for- mat are the tools required, the disassembly process, analysis of what went wrong, parts selec- tion and replacement, the machining process, preassembly, final assembly, and the break-in process. For those who are look- ing for a little more performance, a chapter about performance modifications is also included.
