Buick utilized the LT-1 for its full-sized sedan and station wagon, the Roadmaster. This engine was essentially identical to the one that the Caprice Wagon used, since they are on the same platform. It produced 260 hp and 330 foot-pounds of torque. It had a bore of 4 inches and a 3.48 inch piston stroke. The compression ratio was set at 10.5:1. The LT-1 pushed the Roadmaster to 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.
