Newby Quesion- BOP blocks

Hi all- I'm a former Chevy-only guy who's looking to 'expand

his horizons' somewhat.

I'm learning all I can about the other GM brands, and I'm

intrigued/fascinated by all the unique engines that were

made by the other divisions.

I'm aware that BOP engines can't be dropped directly into

Chevy bodies or vice-versa (engine mount differences I've

been told), but do the BOP engines interchange easily?

IE: can I easily drop an Olds engine into a Pontiac or

vice-versa?

I believe all have their own unique mounts. Each had their own unique engine. Not like today were they all share the same bits and pieces. Also, for the Buick, depending on year, there is the torque tube that has a much different set up then the open drive shaft. But, people with the proper tools and know how mix and match to good effect.

BTW: I'm mostly thinking about the 60's/70's 'small blocks' and 'big blocks'.

The place to visit is the forum for modified Buicks. These guys are doing exactly what you are looking to do.
