    I have a 72 Skylark that I'm gonna shnarf the 350 outta for my Regal. Even though It will be awhile before I work on this again, I want to lay the BB in it. I don't have the correct Skylark BB mounts, and I really don"t have the extra $$$$$ to buy them. I have a set of BB mounts outta a Wildcat. I'm a good welder, so I will weld these onto the crossmember. I don't think Ill have any trouble centering it( as long as the BBs sit in the center ). But I need to know how high they are. If any one out there has their BB outta their Skylark/GS, could you please post some photos of the mounts as the are on the crossmember? Maybe with a rule beside them for reference? I'd really appreciate it, Thanks.

    cray1801 Too much is just right.

    Dan, see attached. Also, here is a one of my threads, http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7109&highlight=frame scroll down a ways to see another view of the frame mounts. These pictures are also from a `72 Skylark, 455 to be installed next month!

    Oops, that should say 0.962", I averaged the two sides to get this number should be very close.
