[Rovernet] 3 Litre V8 for sale in US

[Scruggs Family]

I'm certain that Dr. McCarthy intended to say "Jetfire" vice "Skylark."  I
recall this variant of the Oldsmobile F-85 was the first production
turbocharged car.  Although both the Buick and Olds engines were aluminum
V-8s the Olds used one more head bolt which went through the already
tortured intake tract guaranteeing restricted breathing and no subsequent
development from the aftermarket manufacturers.  Summer of '66 a friend and
I drove one of these normally aspirated F-85s from Anchorage AK to Meridian
MS.

Interesting conversion using the almost identical Buick 215 cu in engine.
It seems to have a 2 barrel carb.
This engine, with a water-injected turbocharger, powered the 62 Olds
Skylark, an advanced, smaller American car.

Looks like some restoration, and needs more.  The v8 was never imported
here, owing to the smog regulations which began in 1968.

All, that's too bad White Post had gone down. I had them do some work for me
and it turned out great. They even sent me a Christmas card that year. Nice
touch.
Then I found Sierra Specialty in the California Foothills. They did
excellent work, quick turn around, nice folks. Too bad they retired from the
business.

Hi Rovernetters!,

I have seen some of White Post's assembly work, and it is not good. I used
to use them just for sleeving and their work was OK but I do assembly myself
because I know how to do it and I get it right.
I have a pair of rear calipers that I rebuilt for Charlie Stutt. I am
selling them for his daughter.Contact me off list if you are interested.
