Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!

Nothing would have to be done. The car being referred to was a grand national body. The engine parts are really getting kind of scarce

Billy, Do you have a 4.1 sitting in your collection? Somewhere around here I have some heads and maybe an intake...

Sorry Daren, but I don't. I might be able to scrounge one up. For some reason, there's a dis-proportionate amount of Buicks in my neighborhood.
If you're serious, Brian Seibenik used to race one. So did Ken Sharp.

If I were 20 years younger I would build a 1962 Pontiac Tempest 115 hp 4 cylinder for W/SA. No cylinder head specs.,no carb specs, no piston specs..

Hi Bob! The local junkyard has 2! One's a convertible!

[Bob Shaw]

Billy, you are still a young man. I wish you would build one. 195 c.i. 4 cyl..

[L.Fite]

So, is the GM 3800 a dead deal?
Don't see much for parts for any V6 anymore.

Wait! Doesn't that have the rubber driveshaft and transaxle?

Not exactly, Marty
It has a steel bar, held in a bowed position, by a series of rubber encased bushings, all inside a bent square tube. The idea was to give it more flat floor space.
It was billed as a 6 passenger car.
In any case , it's way too bizarre for me, and that's saying something. ;-)

Yeah, I should have said flexible driveshaft. I had a 63 Tempest convertible that was going to be senior year of high school wheels - until my brother blew up the transaxle.
