rivierakid55 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 these are in high demand but i know there's a few parts guys here so what the heck. I need a buick big block timing cover. any year will work from 67-76. can be off of a 400-430-455. if anyone has a lead or knows of one that is in usable condition it would be greatly appreciated. at this point im about willing to shell out $700.00 bucks for a new one but i'd really rather not. tia.

CoolBlueSS Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I can give you a part number for a new one, but it's been dicontinued. You might get lucky and find one at an old dealer that they had left over. 1246333. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivierakid55 Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 YIKES!! Kenne-Bell any cheaper? What's wrong with it? Oil pump housing scored? 3 broken bolts that held the water pump on as well as bad electrolisis. it needs to be swapped for a better used one or if all else fails a new one. there's just too much money already tied into this so im pinching pennies to finish up the motor.

rivierakid55 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 thanks for all the input guys. i actually have a donor engine to begin with like mine but the timing cover was junk. ive got some calls in so hopefully something will pay off and i can move on to the next portion of this build.

SS_bnoon_SS Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Send me the old one. I can drill/tap and clean up just about anything... Is it aluminum? Any cracks? Got a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 just wanted to say thanks to everyone that chimed in. ssbnoon, thank you for your offer and if i can round up some cores we can definately talk. finally at the 3rd machine shop i visited, they were able to help me. now i will be able to bolt the motor together and move on to the interior.
