    Le Sabre engine swap

    I have a 1966 Le Sabre and plan on installing a 455 from a 1970 Le Sabre, what engine mounts do I need to install?

    your Le Sabre should have a 340ci in it, which is a SBB ( small block Buick ).

    the 455 is obviously a BBB, and those didn't exist in 1966.

    however, that version of the B-body ( what GM called the cross platform chassis that the Le Sabre was built on ) seems to have run from 1965-70, and the Le Sabre did come equipped with a BBB in 1970. so that's where i'd look.

    you can give www.TAPerformance.com a call, and they can probably tell you exactly what you need.
