Bring your old Buick engine back to life with this new, all-color Workbench-edition book.Buick has an interesting history with its 8-cylinder engines. In 1931, it began with the straight-8 engine, using overhead valve (OHV) technology while most of the other manufacturers were using 4- or 6-cylinder valve-in-block designs. When all of the GM divisions were converting to V-8 OHV postwar designs, Buick joined the party in 1953 with a design that was dubbed the "Nailhead." This design lasted a little too long, and Buick finally replaced it in 1967 with a more modern design. The new design lasted until the mid-1970s, when emissions compliance spelled the end for big-blocks, and in 1980 for the 350. In Buick V-8 Engines 1967-1980: How to Rebuild, veteran author Mike Forsythe takes you through the complete process of rebuilding and restoring a Buick V-8 to factory condition. Covered in a thorough step-by-step format are the tools required, the disassembly process, analysis of what went wrong, parts selection and replacement, the machining process, preassembly, final assembly, and the break-in process. For those who are looking for a little more performance, a chapter about performance modifications is also included. While many people want to do this work themselves, some just want to learn how it is done. Either way, if you are in the restoration process or simply want a return to factory-original performance in your Regal, Century, Electra, Riviera, or LeSabre, this book is an essential tool to bring your Buick back to its original glory.

[ACTUALIZADO EN MAYO DE 2023] La primera vez que me planteé construir una Cafe Racer, hace ya algunos años, mis conocimientos de mecánica eran más que limitados.No tenía ni la menor idea de diseño y por supuesto desconocía la normativa relativa a la homologación de reformas en una motocicleta.El resultado: una Ducati Forza del 79 pintada y tapizada por mí mismo, casi imposible de conducir y por supuesto no homologable para circular por ninguna ciudad.Nunca pasó la ITV. Tuve que venderla por piezas pues el estropicio no podía solucionarse de otra manera.Después de Afortunada, pues así se llamaba aquella Ducati, vinieron muchas más. Muchas horas de formación, de fracasos y victorias, y sobre todo, muchas horas en el taller. Horas dedicándome a lo que más me gustaba, restaurar y transformar motos.Este libro sobre Cafe Racer es para ayudarte a no cometer los mismos errores que cometí cuando empecé, pero por encima de todo, para demostrarte que puedes hacerlo.Puedes elegir una moto que sea la base de tu proyecto Cafe Racer, Puedes diseñar tú mismo la moto de tus sueños, Puedes conseguir los elementos y montarlos sobre el chasis, y finalmentePuedes conseguir que todo funcione a la perfección.Quiero demostrarte que sólo te hará falta una caja de herramientas, un pequeño local (incluso un trastero) y muchas, muchas ganas.No soy mecánico, aunque los admiro de todo corazón. Gracias a escucharles he aprendido gran parte de lo que sé, pero, como los médicos, a veces hablan en un idioma muy complicado de entender para los comunes mortales.Voy a contarte cómo hacer una Cafe Racer, pero voy a contártelo como si estuviéramos tomándonos una cerveza en el bar de al lado del taller, con palabras que entienda todo el mundo, porque de eso trata esta historia, de acercar la transformación de motos a las personas como tú y como yo.Aquí comienza el camino, ¿subes?

When Ferrari of Los Gatos opened, few people could afford an expensive sports car. In 1976, the average annual income was $12,686, and a new home cost about $48,000. Motorists in California could only buy gas on odd or even-numbered days based on the last digit of their license plate, due to the global oil crisis. Times were tough, and people were hesitant to take chances, especially with a car that cost more than a house. At the same time, Brian Burnett and his friend Richard Rivoir had the idea of starting a Ferrari dealership. The Dealer is the story of how one dealership, Ferrari of Los Gatos, fueled the rise of the iconic Italian sports car in the U.S. market on its way to becoming the number one Ferrari dealer in North America. Even Enzo Ferrari himself took notice, flying Brian and the other dealers to Italy to show his appreciation for their success. Customers included movie stars, sports celebrities, entertainers, and some with unusual sources of income and a strong desire for a low profile. Along
