Too bad it's not an Olds 455 as it was a factory installed option. The trans should bolt right up and other than working out the mounts, it should be an easy swap. Good luck, and let us know what all you run into. I personally would go back with a poncho powerplant as I feel that is what makes the car....but just mho.
