Title: Trade or sell 1957 Buick Roadmaster 364 running in 63 Riviera for ? Prefer local
Post by: mdkd on July 22, 2015, 10:53:52 AM: All

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?

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.

Post by: cwmcobra on July 23, 2015, 05:51:52 PM: 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.

Post by: cwmcobra on July 23, 2015, 07:30:50 PM: 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.
