Skylarks, GSXs, Grand Nationals, Rivieras, Gran Sports; the list of
formidable performance Buicks is impressive. From the torque
monsters of the 1960s to the high-flying Turbo models of the '80s,
Buicks have a unique place in performance history.During the 1960s,
when word of the mountains of torque supplied by the big-inch
Buicks hit the street, nobody wanted to mess with them. Later,
big-inch Buicks and the Hemi Chryslers went at it hammer and tongs
in stock drag shootouts and in the pages of the popular musclecar
magazines of the day. The wars between the Turbo Buicks and Mustang
GTs in the 1980s also were legendary, as both cars responded so
well to modifications.The photos in this edition are black and
white.For years enthusiasts of General Motors vehicles that were
not Chevys have had to struggle to find information about
performance modifying their beloved Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs, and
Buicks. It seems that every other performance book was another
twist to modifying the small- or big-block Chevy, with nothing on
the other General marques. The magazines haven't been any better.
With the recent publication of our How to Build Max-Performance
Pontiacs book, and now this book, all of that is changing Enter How
to Build Max-Performance Buick Engines How to Build Max-Performance
Buick Engines is the first performance engine book ever published
on the Buick family of engines. This book covers everything from
the Nailheads of the '50s and early '60s, to the later evolutions
of the Buick V-8 through the '60s and '70s, through to the turbo
V-6 models of the '70s and '80s. Veteran magazine writer and Buick
owner Jefferson Bryant supplies the most up-to-date information on
heads, blocks, cams, rotating assemblies, interchangeability, and
oiling-system improvements and modifications, along with details on
the best performance options available, avenues for aftermarket
support, and so much more. Finally, the Buick camp gets the
information they have been waiting for, and it's all right here in
