Don't do it, there I said it😁. A Buick 350 is a DIRECT swap. They are still around, heck I found one rebuilt with a T/A intake and cam and they replaced the worn cover which Buick's is Achilles Heel. You need minor wiring changes, sbc frame and mounts, sbc accessory brackets and probably a different trans unless someone swapped in a dual pattern TH350 in place of the fragile TH200 factory trans. I know sbc are all over and near free with the LS craze. It makes me very happy, now almost no one wants one anymore. It will take some work to make your Olds Lemming Fresh😉.

A Buick 350. Really. Why not an Olds 350 or 403.

I love the Olds 350, my favorite motor. He needs nothing to install a Buick 350. He is in the same boat with an Olds 350 or 403 unfortunately, not a direct swap but can be done. He needs a complete donor with accessories. I don't mind seeing pretty much anything but the sbc or LS to be honest under classic car hoods.
