If memory serves me the bell housing bolt pattern does not match

 

Nothing can be easy, but it’s part of why we live these trucks. To keep them running is a badge of honor.

 

The Buick block will be cast to take a distributor,, not electronic like ours.

 

Almost nothing is the same.

 

I recently fitted my block with top hat liners, but I mixed up the original pistons. doh! what should I do?????!!!! new pistons? Thanks for the help

 

New pistons would be good, but as long as the old ones are in spec, with new bores, it doesn't really matter.
And, take the time and check the ring gaps before you install them.
Little things like that go a long way towards how long an engine lasts.

 

has anyone used these pistons before? They're $42 US less rings and rods. is this crazy cheap? the original part offered by the same site is $220 US. Just wondering if I'm making a mistake going for bargain here.
