    Hello Buick Folks
    Does anyone have a pic or where the 455 frame pads go on a 1972 frame?
    Converting from 350 to 455.
    Thanks

    The amounts move up closer to the edge of the front of the frame match the bolt holes up.

    As well the motor mounts can be positioned in 2 places on the block - look at the TA performance on line catalogue, there is a page that explains motor mount position for A body versus the big Buicks
