The old pushrod GM engines were great on gas. And usually very reliable too. Thats all I have in my fleet. The 4 speed auto does have quite a drop into OD, but the 3.1 has the torque to overcome that. Stroking the 2.8 into a 3.1 was one of the best things they ever did.

Hopefully you should be able to get quite a bit more out of that Buick.
