1970 Buick 455 Stage 1

[O's Fan Rich]

I have access to one of these motors through a friend of my 2nd cousin twice removed.

Can I put it in my Marauder?

Will the stock transmission bolt up?

What mounts would I use?

Can the rear axle handle the awesome amount of power these things put out?

I need an answer fast because it's on the back of a truck in front of my house right now!

And don't tell me to use search or nothing.

Give me the right answers right now you boneheads!

I demand SATISFACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


sheesh...... rant over....

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

Direct fit, I believe it even has all the same sensors as our engine (little known fact!)

[rayjay]

Should drop right in with a new wiffle valve, of course.

[Phrog_gunner]

Any REAL mechanic wouldn't have bothered asking and would have just started putting it in already.

This question has been discussed ad nausem.... Use the search function.

You'd have to remove your trunk organizer------but, yeah---should fit perfect.

[1 Bad Merc]

Got to watch out for the wiper adapters but it should fit as long as you can shim the left side.

As long as you run the headers reversed you should have no problems

Hey..... thanks for nuthin' you guy's ......

I'll do what I'll do and there ain't a thing you can do about it!!!!

lol!!!!!

[SC Cheesehead]

You'll need a new set of acessroy brackets, a remote fuel pump, and a Stage V water pump adaptor, and you may have to bend the steering shaft amd the left rear corner of the valve cover slightly to gain necessary clearance, but a little torch time and a few raps with a BFH should do the trick.

If this guy can put a huge Merlin V12 in a '55 Chevy, the Buick 455 in a Marauder would be a walk in the park.

Remove the stock engine and mount the Buick engine in the rear then you'll be able to do wheel stands of pure awesomeness!!!!

Good point.

Rich, dump the Buick engine, go with a Merlin, THAT would be an attentoin getter.

There must be something in the water..........

[RR|Suki]

I say put a Ferrari v12 in it, that should bolt up a lot better :beer:

How many mechanics are laughing at that lol lol lol :P

[jerrym3]

Should be an easy swap since both engines are V8s and run on gasoline.
