On the 30's and 40's buicks, how much difference between the big eight (320) and the smaller one? I'm interested in rather or not the intakes can be swapped.
Don't think they will interchange. I have a 2x2 factory intake and factory headers from a 41 and my understanding they will not fit on the small engine.
The seller doesn't know what years or size it fits. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34202&item=7902659983&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW I was hoping to find a few parts for my 39 Special engine. The Showdown got me thinking.....dangerous thoughts.
I had 41 set up and it was for the 248ci And would not fit the 320. Not sure if there was a 41 with a 320 or not. Here is a link some ST8 info.. http://www.harwoodperformance.bizland.com/1941buick/Engine%20Specifications.htm
Stevie G If that is for the 248 are you going to bid? I don't want to bid if you are .. I asked him about the size and will see what he says. 248 should be about 31" long Jdee
Jdee, Is that your motor? Any more pics or info on it? I have looked a little but have never found much on modifications or speed equipment for straight 8s. _Eric
Mine is stock, But I would like to make some headers and get an Edmunds for it. I had a 41 248 set up and it fit, But would really like that Aluminum intake. the 248s are hard to find. I have seen a few 320s before. I'm still messing with the chop on mine... Here are a few links.

ST8 stuff
cool thanks for the links. I like the height of your chop. I wonder how hard it would be to make an intake. The inline six book I have by Leo Santucci talks a little bit about making intakes.
Okay...so what does this fit?? hi Steve--- overall 26-1/4"- end to ctr. port 8"-ctr. to next port 8-1/4". hope this helps ! Bruce
Sorry looked at my photo wrong, went out and checked my car again. Should have done that yesterday Looks like it about 25" long So the thing must be for the 320 Jdee
