Technical 401 Nailhead into 55 Buick

Gday guys!!
Am going to install a 63' year model 401 into my 55 Buick special sedan. The motor has the hump in the middle of the sump. Do I need to get a rear hump sump?? Has any other HAMBer done the same conversion? If so which sump pickup did u use??
Thanks in advance!!

 

I put a 401 in a Buick Special about 12-years ago. The engine was coupled to a Super T-10 4-speed and, as I recall, I had to use a rear sump pan. I might have some pictures of that area of the car and if I do, I'll post them for you.

 

I don't think what pan you'll need will be your biggest problem with this swap, EVL401.

 

And what pickupmdid u use Tagman??

 

contact Dual Quad 55, here on the H.A.M.B. he has run a 401 in his 1955 Buick special for 15-20 years. nick.

 

I have a rear sump oil pan, if you need it. You can modify the tube on the center sump oil pump pickup to work with your rear sump oil pan - cheaper than buying a rear sump oil pump pickup.
