any updates to the sticky on 455 transplant into 80 regal? the drill your own holes/line/level seems pretty complex to me. no updated bolt-in & go mounts? ive got a line on a regal with dead 3.8 & a 69 400 sitting in my garage,looking for a home :eek2:
400 Bbb Good power to weight ratio with the 400 in a regal That would be a great user name 400 into regal :TU:
My friend made my mounts...we set the motor in where we wanted it and made templates out of paper using the existing holes in the frame. Then we made mounts from the templates. We where able to just bolt them right in without drilling or pulling the motor back out. Here are some pictures of the mounts and the swap. http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=102330&highlight=heater+box
