Probably an LT1 with non-weephole opti-spark. Nice platform to start with, sleeperworthy with wagon :ninja: ---

Roadmasters produced between 1936 and 1958 were built on Buick's longest non-limousine wheelbase and shared their basic structure with entry-level Cadillac and, after 1940, senior Oldsmobiles. Between 1946 and 1957 the Roadmaster served as Buick's flagship. When it was resurrected for the 1991 through 1996 model years, it became the marque's largest vehicle.

I think Pinhead240 recently bought a Roadmaster with an LT-1. He might know something about them - usually researches cars a lot before buying. ---

it doesn’t have the 4.3, its definitely a 5.7, but I know some did come with the L99 (i think is what it was called???) Didn’t they call it the baby LT1 or something? ---

LT1 was not available in the Bbody cars until 1994. It’s prolly a TBI 350. Nothing special, but could be made to run. Of course it is best to thrash the TBI & go with a carb or Multiport EFI (TPI) ---
