    76 Riviera Frame Pads and Mounting Locations

    Hey guys. I have been searching for weeks to figure this out. Working on a 76 riviera that had an olds 455 in it. Whoever installed it removed the frame pads and welded them on the rear portion of the engine crossmember. I have pulled that engine and started to install the kenne bell 455 to find out idk where to position the frame pads or what they are supposed to look like even. Can anyone help me with a picture or two?

    i'm not sure why you'd pull a 455 Buick to install a 455 Olds ... i mean, i could see hankering for a 500ci Caddy ...

    1975 Chassis Service Manual - this site

    Have a look a page 6A-59 of the 1975 shop manual on this site. It shows line drawings of how the 455 mounts to frame. The drawings in the 76 manual are almost identical.
