I'm just curious, but how difficult would a swap of a Buick 340 for a 1971 four bolt Chevy 350 be? The transmission is (probably) a THM400, so would it have a BOP pattern bell housing and I would need a Chevy bell housing, or does the 340 have the same pattern as the Chevy 350?
I'm asking because I'm (mildly) interested in a 1967 Buick Lesabre with the original 340 (C$800 OBO), and presumably a THM400 (if it doesn't, and has, say, a Powerglide, then I would just replace engine and trans altogether).
Since the 340 was only made for two years, parts are not easy to find, a 350 would be easier for a daily driver than a 340, otherwise I would just stick with the original engine.
