I'm putting a 350 chevy in my 56 buick 2 door post. Does anyone know if anyone makes a chevy motor mount conversion? Or if the 55 - 57 chevy coversion mount would work? Or just have to fab up some? Thanksfor any info. Steve///
I put a SBC in my wifes '56 Buick. It was a rather easy swap. NONE of the 55-57 Chevy stuff is the same as the Buick. Don't waste any money buying anything for them. I just had to extend a small part of the crossmember with some 1/4" plate to sit the stock motor mounts on. I also used the stock trans mount from the Buick and the stock Turbo 350 trans rubber mount. I just had to re locate a couple of holes. The trans lined right up with the Torque Tube hole in the frame. It was also an easy swap to put a 10 bolt out of a '79 El Camino in the car. I cut the stock coil over and pan hard bar mounts off and welded them to the Camino rear. I used some old Lakewood ladder bars to complete it. Th rear was only a very small difference in width. I took the stock Buick radiator to a Circle car guy and he mad a radiator. Hose locations are totally different. Hope this helps, Zilla!
