1968-1969 Buick Special - LS Swap

As GM's A-Body offerings expanded, the number of models grew with some getting squeezed out. Although originally the base version of the Skylark, the Special was dropped from Buick's product line in 1969 due to the Skylark's success. At the end of the day, these Buicks are identical for all intents and purposes. That's good news, as our platform-engineered A-Body LS Swap systems fit right into place.

Step 1: Engine and Transmission Mounts

  • Choose from Engine Mounts that Move the Engine Slightly Forward, or Standard Mounts w/ the Bellhousing in the Same Location as the Standard Small Block
  • The Forward Mounts Are Best for Late Model Transmissions Since this Minimized Modifications to the Transmission Tunnel
  • The Standard Mounts are Best for Classic Transmissions Since the Driveshaft Can Remain Stock & They Fit Fine inside the Transmission Tunnel
  • These Mounts Fit all GM LS Engines in the 1968-1972 GM A-Body
  • Compatible with Swap Headers, Exhaust Systems, and Swap Oil Pans
  • Transmission Crossmember Works with the Following Transmissions: T56, T56 Magnum, 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E, 4L80E, 4L85E, TH400, and 200R4
