Rebuilding the monster V8 Buick Engine from
The Grand Tour with Richard & Mike
To date we have featured in a few videos in which DriveTribe, Mike Fernie and Richard Hammond document the engine rebuild of Richard’s Buick Riviera 7.3-litre V8 Engine, as featured in The Grand Tour special 'Lochdown'. In the first episode Ric and Mike got to work diagnosing the issues surrounding the monstrous engine, Mike also had a little tour of the place and got to see the cars currently in the workshop and showroom, he took great interest in our Group 5 DRM Style Capri, and our V8 Supercar Holden Commodore, of which he had a sit in!
Later on in the process, Hammond came along to rebuild the Buick’s engine under Ric’s watchful eye as part of a long episode on DriveTribe’s YouTube channel.
The final part to Richard Hammon’s Buick V8 engine restoration is now also live on the DriveTribe YouTube Channel, tune in to see what kind of power and torque figures it managed on the dyno! 🔥👀🟢 The video also saw a farewell to Mike Fernie as he steps back from his DriveTribe duties to start his own journey on his own YouTube channel. We wish him the best of luck in the future!
All episodes can be found further down the page.
