Guest buckfarmer Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hello all,I am wondering if a 51 roadmaster engine will mount in a 48 roadmaster body? Is there changes in the block between these years or will it just bolt right up? I have purchased some parts cars site unseen and just curious how much trouble I have bought myself. Thanks in advance.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airy Cat Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 It should bolt up. If both engines were Dyna Flow transmissions it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buckfarmer Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Thanks Airy Cat, that is what I was hoping. Yes, both are dynaflow cars. Also was wondering when buick switched from babbit bearings in there engines? As I understand it they first changed from babbited mains at some point and then some years later started with insert bearings on the rods also? Can someone tell me what years the changes were made?Thanks again Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
