Sorry no its OLDS engine. I would have liked to have used a buick but the car had a olds 403 with headers and dual exhaust when I got it so was just easier to fit an olds big block in it plus the olds v8's have a stock roller lifter camshaft in the mid-late 80's 307. I copied a cam profile and had a guy regrind one and cost me $120. Try finding a roller cam for a buick v8!!! yes had to switch to screw in studs for rocker arms but used roller rocker so had to anyway. I may have a electronic buick v6 distrbutor, maybe u can switch the internals from a v8 to use with the 7427
Yanked the Buick V6 for the Buick 455 in a Regal. Still have the V6 tucked away in the garage and it has a electronic dizzy that I considered doing the same. It's a back burner project...would love to fuel infect it!
Fuel injection for older engines is possible with a distributor (points type) that has been modified for a GM eight pin ignition module. Check out Dave Small Body HEI: http://www.davessmallbodyheis.com/gallery

Keeping ot...would like to run '427 4L80E on the big Bu'. That's good to know currently have a big cap HEI on there and probably have the OE small cap points on a shelf somewhere!

you should be able to take the guts from a large cap computer controlled chevy and just transplant it to an oldsmobile hei distributor.
