This can be an entry into the labrynthian (or quagmire) world of B-O-P high performance.

B O P is Buick, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.

This was a tough go because 1} you had to know what you were looking for at the junkyard and

2) parts were not plentiful like they were for Ford, Chevy and Mopar's.

Read this and you get a glimpse of how it got real confusing in a hurry.

AMT has some pretty interesting BOP kits if you want to get into it.

It's the same as trying to find parts for a Mercury, much like the BOPs they were not simply re-skinned Fords or Chevys like many of the uninformed like to insist they are!

Ford has a similar situation with it's engines.

If you start with the '52 Ford and Lincoln  new overhead valve engines and

trace all V8's forward and stop at the Modular engine it's a mess.

For every 10 people that had a go fast, one or none had a B-O-P.

Now looking back, BOP's are interesting as all get out and can see why it was hard to figure out back then.

As far as this model kit, Hobbylinc has the old and the new kit, anybody know the difference?
