    motor stands

    No I am sorry , but I went ahead and bolted stands to rubber motor mounts on engine and set it down in the car so I could move car and motor out of the way until I found the correct stands that the holes will line up with the holes in crossmember. If you can give any advice it would be apprecited I am new to the the buick world (been a chevy only man until I drove a 455 in a 69) thanks :)

    alec296 i need another buick

    are the stands cast or stamped steel?you should have cast ones
    and the will have a R or L cast into the underside( so you will have to
    lift motor up and yank one off)
    you might have the rubber mounts in the wrong bolt holes as the have
    two mount positions.
