what is that a buick?

taylorde · 05-10-2006, 10:04 PM

Ya, it is a 455

wibilly · 05-10-2006, 10:38 PM

hey, what side is the starter on on a buick?

72armyswbtruck · 05-10-2006, 10:42 PM

It will fit, just make sure that you get an engine oil filter relocation kit. I once owned a 70 that had a 455 in it and the PO cut the frame rails instead of relocating the oil filter. Good Luck

taylorde · 05-10-2006, 10:49 PM

where can you get a relocator kit at? and were do you move it to, does it just point the filter down?

The sttarter is on the passenger side.

taylorde · 05-10-2006, 10:50 PM

also did it have a high or low hump in the cab?

oscareltemblo · 05-10-2006, 10:53 PM

I just bought onr from summit racing filter relocator and oil cooler for 80 bucks .

taylorde · 05-10-2006, 10:56 PM

was that for a buick 455?

local13hutch · 05-11-2006, 12:52 AM

The type I have used had A block where the filter normally goes with two hoses coming away from it so you can relocate it wherever it fits best and you just cut the length of the hoses accordingly...Single oil remote..Easy install and even easier oil changes later on. Just check for leaks....

Looking good!

Did you have any luck finding motor mounts? Hope it all fits, because when I'm ready to put my 455 in I will know how to call.

taylorde · 05-11-2006, 11:17 PM

Ya it is coming as fast as work and the wife lets it come. The motor mount brackets are from a 73-87 chevy, it doesn't mater there are all the same. When I get them and get them install there will be pics! The motor mounts them selfs not sure how to weasel that one yet but that day will come. might be able to find some or have a mach. shop build them, we'll see!!!
