Buick ProStock SetUp

by George Nenadovich

 

 

Close-up of exhaust ports for the pro-stock heads....only 2 sets were made and one set made it to Tony Branson from NC who raced a 69 GS in pro-stock class...the second set was scrapped at Buick. Denny Manner, Senior Buick Engine Development Engineer, discussed this set-up at the 6th annual Buick Performance Group meet in Columbus OH on Aug 1, 2009. These heads are different than Stage 2 heads from 1972.
