    I think it was a 360 or a 390. He was a buick mechanic and that is what was in at the time. If parts for the 455 buick are like the 455 olds(expensive) I would steer clear. I love my olds but I am going to sell it and the boat and go the way of the chevrolet. later .....v-drive

    The Nailheads of that era were 425s, not 455s. The 430 and 455 Buicks were quite a bit later, mid to late 60s, and a complete different design from the nails of the 50s..............MP

    Nothing will unless you have the original engine mounts. Just use the plates and make new brackets, no biggie!..
