im buying a 72 buick station wagon with a 455, not the skylark type, will the frame mounts off the wagon work in my 72 skylark to mount a 455? if not i know were to get new 455 mounts. THANKS KELLY
Kelly, If you're talking about an Estate Wagon, I can tell you they won't work. I used to run a '72 Estate Wagon for many years, then "downsized" to the '70 Sportwagon. I swapped the motor into the Sportwagon and the frame mounts do not just bolt in. Holes don't line up, etc. - it's just a totally different mount. Didn't phase me as I had a set of 455 Skylark aluminum frame mounts sitting around just for this occasion. One more thing - if you're planning to use the THM 400 tranny out of the Estate Wagon, be aware that it will feature the long tail shaft, so the Skylark driveshaft would have to be shortened. Good luck! Paul
