Beutyfull skylark i got 2 68 rivieras one is a original GS model i had a 455 in it. But got a rod knock so i got a 67 430 engine with the starwarz air cleaner just fired it upp today.
Well, it depends. As I stated in the video, I already had the drive train, meaning the engine, transmission and rear-end. I also already had the pedal assembly and steering column. I also had the correct motor mount pads that bolt to the frame to support the engine swap. Here's a breakdown of what I think the cost was if I were to buy everything. 1. Big Block Buick rebuilt - $3K 2. Muncie 4 speed trans rebuilt - $1.5K 3. Positraction rear-end rebuilt - $1K 4. Pedal assembly, used Ebay - $200 5. Steering column, used Ebay - $200 6. Dual exhaust with mufflers - $400 7. Motor mount frame pads - $100 8. Driveline rebuilt - $200 There is also the cost of miscellaneous hardware, paint and consumables. Also, depending on the car, there could be suspension modifications both front and rear. Meaning, shocks, springs and steering components. You can add or remove any of the cost associated with this swap depending on what you have already available or need. Pro Buick
Try Original Parts Group Inc or OPGI. Not sure if they're available separate from the seat covers though. Perhaps the manufacturer that makes seat covers for OPGI has them available separately.
Did you try going to Legenday Auto Interiors LTD or PUI Interiors directly? Not sure if that'll work, but it's all I can think of. I'm almost positive that the medallions are separate from the covers when I have purchased and opened a re-cover kit.

Beautiful, and the 68 and 69 modes are my least favorite, but it is still beautiful!
Thanks!
Nice ride!
Nice
Not a lot of muscle cars look this good in brown
Let me here that grunt!!!
Got a 4 door 68 that i just put a 455 in it
Nice car, get rid of that chrome rad cover and stupid decals, as well as that 10 cent tach.
@user-ef3hf1et3t
Thanks, I think. Anyway, the car sold
Without the tach, gauges or decals!
How much did it cost you to swap engines to 455 four speed and drivetrain?

Thank you for fast and very informative answer. You sure have some great ride there:)
Do you happen to know where I can get those medallions on the seats?

@@probuick3317 tried them they don't have them.

Bench seat and four speed...Super Bad
You should've left it stock.
Not in my natute.
