Olds 350 vs Buick 350??
Whats the difference between olds 350 and Buick 350? I know Chevy 350 is allot different but not sure about the Buick to olds. I have a 74 omega and might be buying a Buick 350 that's done up so my next question is will the Buick motor bolt up to olds tranny? And basically fit in my car without changing mounts and such? Thanks

The mounts will be different, but as stated above, you could get ones for an Apollo. The cross member should be drilled in the proper spots for the mounts. As far as the engines go, the Buick and Olds motors are pretty much nothing alike. They are both 90 degree V8's with the same bell housing bolt pattern and it pretty much stops there. Unlike the Olds, Buicks are not able to share items such as heads, valve covers, exhaust manifolds or timing chain covers between the big and small blocks.

Once again, unlike Brand F or Brand M(opar), every GM division had it's own unique engine designs until the late 1970s. Completely different bore, stroke, castings, and architecture. Other than a few external items like distributor cap, alternator, and PS pump, NOTHING interchanges.
