215 engines are easy to find. I just sold 3, including a very nice fuel
injection manifold I made myself from a OLDS 4bbl manifold.

The worlds best supplier of Buick/Olds 215 parts is Dan LaGrou of D&D
Fabrications in Mich, Phone #- 810-798-2491. He has any engine related
parts including rare Jetfire models.
