My son has a 1963 Riviera with a good running 1957 Roadmaster 364 in it.

A previous owner took the original engine out and put into street rod.

Fortinetly he knew about the switch before he bought it.

We are looking to go back to 401/425 with dynaflow.

He got 4 extra transmissions and another together 364 and a lot of Riv and older Nailhead parts with the deal.

What do you need?

Hi Milton,

Not likely that these are in his new inventory of parts, but for my factory A/C conversion I need the rear A/C compressor bracket for cast valve covers and 2x4 intake manifold.  Also a fan shroud for a large car with A/C.  Both for a 401.  Just that simple stuff!   :icon_thumright:

Sorry

The Riv & parts doesn't have airconditioning, 2x4 setup or large car fan shroud available.

Thanks for checking. You never know unless you ask.

I know you always like pictures so here is my son's project car.

Pictures show Riv with 2 inch drop but he has put new regular height springs back in so he can turn corners and make it down his 1/4 mile long dirt driveway.

Now all he has to do is put in a well at the end of the driveway to wash the car as he is leaving.

How about cast BUICK script valve covers?  I've got some from a 66 and would like to make it correct for 65 with 2x4 package.

Thanks, but I'm looking for originals.  The 66 covers look good, but I'd rather have the correct ones for 65.

Cheers!

My son has brought my wife and I 3 wonderfull grand children in 3 1/2 years so he is looking for more space in his house.

Translated he has decided to sell his Riviera.

It is currently listed on Craig's list Minneapolis St. Paul.

A young man from the local Gopher State Buick Club is the new owner of my sons 1963 Riviera.

The new owner couldn't afford the extra parts so I will have to decide what to do with them.
