Greetings Folks!
Getting closer to needing my Buick 215 built and was curious if anyone knows of anyone that knows anyone that knows a good engine shop that knows these engines for my build? I’d like to have the motor dyno’ed and broken in as well. ![]() I know someone suggested D&D a while ago, but let’s just say I won’t use them. I need to contact some local shops here but figured I’d throw this out and see if “The Power of Yenko.Net” may have some insight. ![]() Thanks men! Cheers Dave |

Try contacting Kurt Urban at Scoggin-Dickey and see if you can talk him into it. I would trust him.

Thanks, Charley! If I mention your name, does that help or hurt the cause?
Cheers Dave |

D&D had a website iirc that had some real good information regarding the cam choices and valvetrain......regrind is probably in order. I gave a 215 Olds to my buddy, and he just used a local rebuilder do the machine work, nothing out of the ordinary there, just flat planes and round holes. Putting it together requires some wallet digging compared to a sbc. Cool little engines.

Can you post all the details and intricacies of the 215 build, a friend may want to install one in a hot rod and Knowledge is power. And power is power:-)
The aluminum 215 to me seems like a perfect engine for a small car/hot rod, but only if a 4 or 5 speed is involved!!! Ryan W31
