Buick 455 iwll take quite a bit of work to get in the place of a 5.7 Diesel. the diesel was Olds based, the Buick mounts differently.

I was told the later engine mounts will work with the chevy frame mounts.we put a buick engine in a cutlass a few years back and didnt have any mount issues.But im not for sure so im just selling the engine here.

I believe that the Buick engine will work with the BBB engine pads (frame). Great choice. Lots of torq.
