Will it fit, who makes the mounts or will the stock buick mounts work. Has anyone seen this application before? Thanks
Thanks, Bryan

If all the cylinders ain't in a line it ain't cuttin it..

He bought it that way, and never removed the motor so I don't know what the mounts looked like. But the motor fit fine, and it was a nice fast little truck.
He sold it without telling me it was for sale. I wanted to shoot him, because I wanted that truck!

Sold 4bbl 455 & trans for $800 & car for $150. Fellow who bought the motor/trans put it in a Chevy truck, but don't remember what year.
