Can you e-mail Ron or give me some info?

Call Darwin Albritton at Darwin's Hot Rod Shop, (870) 932-3667.

He just pulled one out of a running car that is getting a late power train.

Make offer.

There is a '47 Sedanette advertised in the Oregon, Washington and Idaho Auto Trader for $2500. Ad says it has a complete straight-8.

I want the rest of the car...

Does anyone know if that is the motor that would be in my 41 Buick parts car. I know nothing about early Buicks, just that the body is the same as my Oldsmobile.

To be a 320 ci engine, it has to be a Roadmaster or Century

sirstude · October 04, 2005, 03:43:26 PM

Thanks Frank, I think this is a Special, it is an overhead valve straight 8 though. How big is the small one?

Doug

Are the small block and large blocks of the same casting with a different bore? how do you tell them apart?

The one my buddy has is out of a 47 Sedanette but it is rebuilt and a runner, but might not be the right CI.

He would like to get rid of the whole car, (lost intrest) the car has a different frame under it.

sirstude · October 04, 2005, 05:40:06 PM

I found the info, looks like bore and stroke. This page has all that stuff.

Engine Specification.htm I'm not sure how to post a long address.
