This is a shot of the buick 231 even fire yet to be harvested from an '87 Limited T-Type. The T-Type was a model option on the Grand Nationals that dominated many streets I romped around on back in the mid to late 80s. My dad bought this one at a police auction for 2000.00, drove it around until he managed to spin it out in a rain storm then let it sit in decay in our front diveway for about 10 years. Note the missing oil filler neck. This was a common problem with these engines and is easily fixed. Asside from sitting up, the engine was in good running condition. Even thought I plan on doing a full overhaul on it before completing the transplant, it should be realativly easy to get running again.
