Default motor swap
I have a 76 Regal and just recently inherited a 454 and a turbo 400 out of an 80s dually and was wondering if the early model monte mounts will work. I've heard the monte and regal were basically the same car.

It's a Buick 350, I was looking into rebuilding that but its too hard to come by most of the parts. So I was told about a built 454 for $200 that ran really good so I jumped on the opportunity

Nope that's one of the reasons I bought it, I'm a big fan older cars that noone ever thinks of yet has potential
