If they don't make it, adapt it.

This is super neat guys. I love people who think out side the box and do not let parts suppliers decide how they build their engines.

A chevy mod has to be possible but Buick guys will love it.

I'ld love to check it out but all I get is..................

ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bb9'

Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.

I can't get the link either, but doesn't Rover already have an engine like that under the hood of the new Land Rover? I beleive it's called a BMW-sourced 5.0L 4-valve DOHC V8 they snagged outta the 7-series.

Wow the new land rover huh. [geese some people miss the point all together. There isnt even a reason to explain it. ]

Though Buick people should be going nuts. We already got a mostly stock pump gas Buick 350 over 500hp, add twin cam 32 vavles per cylinder and that 700+ pump gas monster is possiable.

If it can be done for old Buicks, any motor can go twin cam. With work.
