Apollo project GSiX, it's all Buick

[HotWired]

Drivetrain is mounted, and this is what I did for the engine mounts. Since this engine was never offered in this subframe I had to get creative. I also did not want to use stock rubber engine mounts because they are known tot be weak and fail.

I am very happy with the engine placement even though it was very tight. I can't believe how much real estate this little six takes up. I originally wanted to go the 455 route and decided this would fit better, not so sure now.

Could not get the stock manifolds to clear the steering box, so I found a set of ATR stainless 4 bolt headers and they fit like they were made for the swap.





Crossover pipe to upper a-arm pivot is close, but I have some delrin bushings coming that shoud give just a little more room.



Started with the engine mounts, energy suspension bushings





Then moved on to the frame pads, they had to extend back from the subframe but this also pushed the engine almost behind the crossmember I like the set back.









Also bought a TIG welder and am trying to get it figured out, not the best but...



Transmission crossmember also did not work due to set back so I fab one up it will get it posted as well, stay tuned...
