I am in the area east of Toronto Canada and go to car shows locally quite often. I came across a fella with a '58 Impala rag top in a beautiful 2-tone paint combo. I asked him if it had the 348 W block and indicated it did from the factory but not at the moment. He swaps out the exact same powertrain as you have here when he goes to shows. A 350 TBI with 700R4. Why you ask. He says the cost of fuel would be prohibitive in the original drivetrain ! Also worked for a fella that ordered a rag top Buick GS 400 brand new in 1970. Dems sure was da dayz ! Cheers. That's quite the fine ride you got go'in there !

Haha that they were! I wasn't a big SBC guy, but i really like it so far! This winter I'm tearing down the Buick 350 and see what happened. Thanks for watching!!

Great work , did you have to move the engine mounts that are on the car ? Or did you leave them ?

[@langspeedcycle]

Yeah I had to get sbc relocation mounts

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Dead giveaway is the location of the distributor!

[@langspeedcycle]

Hehe! Good find!

[@douglasstaats1575]

Did you have to do any modifications to the motor mounts?

[@langspeedcycle]

Yeah I got Buick to Chevy conversion mounts from Original Parts Group!
