I also received this picture of the front of the motor taken when it was being photographed for a magazine in 1967,you can see the mag drive/timing cover/crank girdle my dad fabricated for the 430 Buick motor.
I have a funny feeling the first two words out of his mouth after he see's this will be "crank trigger",lol... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

So, it must have been on display at the Red Barns Museum in Kalamazoo. I have a friend that had his comp coupe up there, also Al Berglers car was in there too.
You're in good company. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

I studied those pictures of the front of the engine and as a former machinist in a past lifetime, that's some nice work.

Great car and fantastic photos. I agree with Mark about the machine work-nicely done. The DRAG NEWS plate is cool as well.
