Brought home another trophy.



And small world. The guy with the blown camaro is the guy who owns westech. He was parked next to us and we had good conversation. Talking about all the cool MotorTrend shows he was involved with. He hangs with Dulcich an Friberger still.
Dave was at his house/shop just a few days ago.

The white Riviera is a newer car to another friend of ours. It was sweet. Had the big 445 nail head in it. Ive never seen one in person.

Had the big 445 nail head in it.

425 was the biggest nail head engine Buick made. I’ve got a couple of 401 nailheads.

Fun Fact: To start a SR-71 Blackbird, 2 Buick 425 or 401 engines were hooked together in tandem to drive a right angle gear box to start the engines of the plane. They blew up so many of them that they exhausted the supply of them in junkyards at one time. Then they had to switch to Chevy 454s.

Wasn't that the torque rating on the wildcat?
