    I have pulled my 350 buick engine out of my 72 skylark to go through it, as it had been sitting for 19 years. I had a 350 olds engine so I thought I would install it until I finished the overhaul of the buick engine. I've run into motor mount Issues has anyone ever experienced this? Any help much appreciated. Thanks

    You’ll also have battery cable, battery mount, and fuel line issues. If you’re going back to Buick soon and don’t need to drive it in the meantime, is it worth the trouble?

    alec296 i need another buick

    You will need to extend alterntor wires , since its on the opposite side, stater wires are on opposite sides, fuel pump hoses since they are on opposite sides. Really not worth the work if your gonna go back to the buick in the near future.

    X2, your going to have to do a lot of cutting and splicing/re-routing of electrical and fluid lines.
    Once that's done, may as well leave the Olds engine in there.
