    455 frame pads for 1965 Buick lesabre

    Looking for some help, I'm putting a 455 in my 1965 Buick lesabre. Original motor was a 300. Im having trouble finding frame pads for this swap. Any info would be a great help on where I can find some to purchase.

    I think 1967 Wildcat or Electra pads would work, but may put the engine too close to the firewall.

    I think you would need a mid sump oil pan and pick-up tube too (67-69 430 and 70 455 Riv).
