Okay so flame away. I went water cooled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) .Yes I know I don't pick the car up till friday afternoon. I will post pics then. Best part is it has so little rust I wouldn't even call it rusty. Just a little on the battery tray. None in the hell hole, none in the longs, none in the trunks & none in the floor pans. Downside is the radiator setup is kinda crappy. Sits at a weird angle in the front trunk & has a large cutout. I plan to get Renegades dual fan setup before summer. Anway I need to get to selling some stuff to make room & fund my new ride. If anyone has this Buick 215 v8 please shoot me some advice. It is supposed to have an aluminum block & be very light (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Dazzle me with your infinate wisdom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Jamie Is it possible that the clutch is frozen to the P. plate or flywheel, from sitting for so long.
One of my V8 cars would do that if it was run for a long time.
I would put it in gear, and then try and start the car, It would break the clutch loose. It would work fine after that.
I do not suggest that for your very confined space.
I would think that you would have a Kennedy Enginering clutch assembly and adapter setup in there for a Buick V8??
