- We start Oil Mods on an early production 430 Big Block Buick and find a few things that are interesting while looking the subject over and decided to try and figure out whats happening and why with this early production engine. I discuss the major differences between the later 455 big blocks and this early production 430 ND stamped block. #NoNameNationals

I drove a 430ci for years and years with tremendous oil starvation and it just would not break down on me. Pickup tube in the pan was all clocked up. Barely any oil noticable under the valve covers, left side was 100% dry. I would have rebuild it just as it came from the factory, no modifications needed. Instead i only cleaned it and re-gasket it.
Well my cousin had a 67 wild cat 2dr. And for a big car it used to get down that was a fast car it would whip a stock 383 road runner with no problem for a big car it was a brute. But the thing that had my cousin puzzle is if you would do a fresh oil change on it it would always come back a quart short. So he took the car to the dealer and they told him the technicians explained to him that that was a test engine for that year only but I have a 81 Cutlass and I had a chance to own a 4:30 wildcat 67 Buick motor but I passed up on that deal and I live to regret it because the motor made 360 horses at 475 torque. Factory. But anyway that's enough I don't want to rambling because I can go on and on. NEW Orleans ✌️
I had a ‘69 riviera as my first car with the awesome 430….that car was bad ass
My twin brother and I shared a 68 wildcat as our first car and it was amazingly fast for a boat of a car that but it was, and it too had the 430 in it.
@@kimdearrington258simply one of the best engines of its time.
I know the physics behind the design of the pick up side of the feed hole
Maybe that block was made on a Monday morning or a Friday afternoon. 😄 Nevertheless, I'm sure that you will work your magic on it to make it more suitable for greater HP/TQ use.
The 430ci is one of the best in its time from the factory
It was only Friday. Friday. But Sundays a commin'...
She slipped past quality control at lunchtime
Boring that oil pickup hole bigger would weaken the block.
Sure it would, but every single 455 after 1970 had this oil passages increased in size due to lack of engine oil. So one way weakens the block and the other smokes the bearings. Choose your poison.
