....cause I kind of doubt he thought I'd actually drive it home. :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:

FYI those caddy 4.1 v6 blocks are somewhat in demand by the Buick Turbo crowd

OK apparently I missed some back story care to fill us late arrivals in on your sinsiter plans?

[dunl]

It's a replacement for my 1948 Willys' Buick 3.8 V6.

[dasbulliwagen]

I was wondering what it was for too.... thought maybe a nice demo derby car!

[dunl]

I hate to say it, but I see the attraction to these highway cruisers....it is by far the most comfortable thing I have driven. Much more comfortable than my leather couch even. :chillin:

[DJM/78]

I've owned two of them , some of the coolest cars I have ever owned , Fast too . :rotf:

 

One was a 77 coupe and a rare black on black 78 .

 

Those motors are tanks . I believe they are 560 blocks bored to 429 , supper thick piston walls .

Careful though , they starve themselves even with a 500 cfm quadra-jet carb. :ack:

 

I fuel injected one of mine with a corvette EFI and computer .

 

Nice find , was it a Pimps Mary Kay car ?

[dunl]

This one is the Buick 4.1 V6 252cid. It was an alternative to the Buick V8-6-4 engine that was designed to save fuel by running on 8,6,or 4 cylinders as needed....great idea, 30 years or so too early to make it work.

 

I've been hunting for one. I found a Google cached view of an ad for this car for $350. I then posted an ad looking for that person who placed the ad, and someone emaled me his number the next night. It was a Mary Kay, given to a daughter, someone backed into the front, then parked, sold for a project, forgotten, then sold to me. 167,000kms or 103,000 miles. The odometer only shows five digits, and I doubt it is 67,000km or 43,000miles.

 

Do you have any idea on any desirable components to pull off of it? Like maybe the computer?

[DJM/78]

I knew it was a Mary Kay car ! :rotf:

 

Caddy's are hard to find in pink . My black on black Coupe De'ville was only special order for FBI and government use and Funeral homes .

 

Sorry I should have read the thread more , I thought it was an older V8 .

[Geonovast]

I could drive that around ironically for awhile.. :roll:

 

How much you get the whole car for? You just got it for the motor, right?

 

If the rest of it's ok, are you considering dropping in a different motor and resell?

 

 

 

Oh, and by the way, you're missing an 'o'.

I did get it just for the engine. I haven't really thought about doing anything else to it, as I just need to get rid of it (no room here).

Whoops.... :doh:

You can't give folks a GM carb feedback system

 

What year is the car? What tranny and what carburetor?

 

Were you specifically looking for a 4.1 or did you simply snatch up the first buick v6 you could find?

[dunl]

[

Good to know

81 Deville 2dr. THM200-4R/200-4R tranny. No clue on the carb.

I've been looking for a 4.1 V6 for over a year.

Well yeah if you pulled off the OE 800cfm carb and replaced it with the smallest v6 500cfm q-jet made

 

I'm wondering how you bore a 560 block to a smaller 429 an engine which came in a cadillac no later than 1967 BTW

 

500-472-425 and the ill fated 368 v864 were the displacements you'd see through the 70's and early 80's

[DJM/78]

Sorry , It was the 425 , but the blocks were allot larger , so that the piston walls were really thick .

Mary Kay becomes an organ donor

 

Bought it Saturday, had Valentine's day, and went out first thing yesterday morning.

 

Some pics:

 

There's a reason that bracket in the middle looks "raw"

 

....Sawzall. My favorite tool yesterday.

 

For on board air:

 

Rad is out.

 

Out they come:

 

 

and away.....

 

it goes:

 

It was only here for 48hours. :banana:

[Geonovast]

Where'd it go? Scrapper? Yard?

 

I hope you don't end up needing something off of it.

[dunl]

Yup, auto parts/ scrapper yard. I doubt there is anything I will need off of it. I need to power the starter, distrib, and alt. That's about it. 8)

This thread title really confused me, as we have a strip club here called "The Pink Lady".
