Stumbled across this. Thought it might be worth a look to someone? Don't have much knowledge of Buick engines, so not real sure of the HP potential.
Missing the carburetor, not a real problem for NHRA. What about IHRA P/S? Rules say OEM carb, I take that to mean an original, no Edelbrock replacement carb allowed? Finding blocks, cranks and rods, heads for 70's era Buicks would likey be another headache.

Car might be too heavy and hard to make sufficient power. Food for thought. If my driveway wasn't full of junk right now, I'd be tempted to go look at it.
