Hello Matt This is an update on my reply on the 263 project. First, I noticed an error dealing with the fan spacer. It goes, as you probably guessed, behind the fan near the water pump. You will also need to use the front motor mount plate from the '40 engine. I don't recall if I had to modify this for clearance or not. Again, good luck! olsuper

Hello Matt. Many years ago I put a 263/dynaflow engine in my 41 Super Coupe. I did use the dynaflow crankshaft but had to make some modifications. First I turned a sleeve on a lathe to fit the cavity in the end of the shaft. The inside of the sleeve was turned to give a snug fit to the pilot bearing. I first chilled the sleeve and then placed it in the end of the crank. Next, I had a machine shop fit the flywheel to the end of the crank. I suspect that there was some drilling involved. This worked out great. One more thing that is necessary. You may have to alter the fan. The 263's that I have seen use a spacer between the fan and the radiator. I had to cut the spacer down in that it put the fan too close to the radiator. Next, I used the 263 fan but had to trim the end to clear the crank pulley. I used the 263 fan since it blew more air than the 41. I know you now have the correct crank but felt this info might help others who are attempting this conversion. My conversion turned out great and with the 41's compound carb system and dual exhaust made the car quite peppy. I did this nearly 45 years ago. Good luck on your project. olsuper

I have 5 Buick 455 engines for sale. There are two '70's, a '75 core, a '73, and a very nice running 76. One of the '70 engines is in a 69 hardtop which is marginal if it can be restored. Sheet metal fair but interior bad. The engine seems to be in good condition. The '69 with the '70 engine is $300. Oh yes, it has a good positraction rear end. The '75 core engine is $75. A second '70 engine in a '70 4-dr hardtop and is $200 with or without the car itself. Some good parts on the car. The 73 engine is in a '70 2-dr hardtop which also has some good parts. It is $150. The '76 engine was pulled years ago from a '76 Electra Limited that I owned. It ran great, used no oil between changes and gave excellent highway fuel mileage (18 mpg). I live in northwest Washington state and can be contacted at (360) 734-1477. Jerry.
