    I just bought a 1963 buick special wagon with a 215 v8 all aluminum. the car sat for 20 years and i revived it and got it going in two weeks to make an apperance at the goodguys car show. the car runs good however the gas tank needs boiled, left me stranded on the way home. but what can you excpect

    Welcome to the forum, jb. Lots of info and fun here.

    Had a '63 Olds Cutlass with that same engine for my first car(this was in 1969). Watch out for overheating........
