Fast Facts:
- Buick’s 350ci engine was quite different from Chevrolet’s, and was known to be more durable. Unlike Chevy’s, the Buick 350 block had higher nickel content and a deep skirt construction. The Buick also used an external oil pump, front mounted distributor, different sized crank journals, and a longer stroke
- In fact, Buick’s 350 had the longest piston stroke of all the GM 350ci engines, making it physically wider and bigger than all of them as well
- The Buick 350 also uses an aluminum timing cover that incorporates the oil pump mechanisms, which exposed the oil filter to oncoming air for a cooling effect
- This engine is the same 350ci found in the Jeep Gladiator and Wagoneer (’68-’71), where it was known as the “Dauntless” V8
