based on it's history if you sell it once more it should have a 350 in it when you buy it back.....🙂

Hmmm, now you making sense! LMAO

Also a thread about Bonnewagon putting a '67 400 into his wagon: https://gbodyforum.com/threads/1967-pontiac-400-in-a-g-body-attn-algershick.61263/

I was just referring to the physical dimensions of the block; didn't even consider the mounts. That's how I roll: get a harebrained idea and run headfirst into a wall with it- full speed, no helmet.

That's why we have acetylene tourches and ARC welders isn't it?

Welcome to the site! Post pics, will definitely keep looking for updates!

okay guys, i might have a lead on a buick 350. Would that bolt up to my Pontiac transmission, and will it use my engine mounts?

 

[MrSony]

Nope.

 

[MrSony]

Well, it would bolt to the trans, yes. That's all they have in common. Nothing else will work besides a pontiac engine.

So motor mounts and brackets etc.. Would be an issue then huh...

Yes. Hypothetically, if you found a 231 3.8 car (BUICK 3.8, not the Chevy 3.8 which is a 229), you could use the frame mounts, engine mounts, and starter and front accessories from that. But that's a lot more work.

do you remember the part number for the engine mounts your used for your Buick engine?
