    You dont see many of these all dressed up. 1965 Buick 300 V8 in a Sport Wagon. Its a blast to pull into a show or cruise night and pop the hood!

    Looks great. Nice to see an engine without a bunch of chrome crap.

    Nice. Good to see someone giving attention to an uncommon power-plant.

    our_55_engine.jpg HERE'S A VERY RARE ENGINE WITH NOT MUCH SHINY STUFF ON IT. Sorry it's not a Buick. But we've seen the USA with it. :rofl2: It's a very rare 1955 Edlebrock.

    That could well be the original engine to the car, but with the supercharger added. After all, MG did make an MGB V-8, in both convertible and GT (hard top) models. Even without the supercharger they went like stink, and they sound like a true North American muscle car.
