    I guess you could swap any engine in there, but putting anything else in that Buick engine bay is kind of like calling the Pope names. These Buick mills are so cool on their own and dress up so pretty, it would be a shame to look in there and see something like a sbc.

    Just my opinion, but I would rebuild the Buick and save yourself all the hassles of trying to work out engine mounts and the zillion other tasks you would have to do.

    PS: If you lived closer to Florida, my answer would have been different. I would have told you to pull that 401 and sell it cheap to some deserving hot rodder (me)
