Hey guy's picked up a 48 Buick Super 8, it has the original straight 8 (non-working) and was wondering if it is worth it to have the S8 rebuilt or drop a newer more efficent motor in it? Im a huge LSx motor lover but dont know if I wanna put a efi/computer (mayby just use block and carb it) engine in it, Im new to this so I will prob have a crap ton of questions. So ALL opinions are going to be considered..lets hear it!
1. Stay original or not?
2. If not, go big or stay simple 350/350?
3. What engine will drop in with the least mods to the car?
4. If I go "newer" how much can I go to without the "smog Nazi's" in Cali flogging me?
5. Give or take what are looking at $$ wise? just ballpark ranges, I wanna make this a budget build, especially since it's my first!
