hi there..we can´t find a moderate 400 ci engine for my car here in germany but we have found a Buick 350 CID 4bbl from 1971..we will this engine perform with a torque camshaft , and a edelbrock "Thunder" carburator maybe we take another intake manifold !..I hope it runs good with this conversion !

Sure! they can run very well. For more specific info on the Buick 350 check this link...
http://www.v8buick.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=8 You have some decent options for that engine. It's a very tough engine and is designed well.  Deep skirt block Long rods Long stroke Modern combustion chambers Sparkplug bias to the exhaust side Distributor in front Lighter than a small block Chevy!

my big concern is the 350 buick won't be enough engine to move the wagon respectibly.
that's a lot of car to move with a small cube engine. mike

In all reality what its gonna cost you to build that 350 to move that Catalina around you could spend the $ and ship over a good Pontiac 400 or better and not have to rework the engine mounts to make the Buick fit.

Hallo Joe,

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
