The mounting pad is located between the transmission rear bearing retainer and the transmission support on car frame. The rear (transmission) mounting is composed of two parts a mounting pad to support a portion of the weight of engine and transmission assembly, and a thrust pad to take the drive thrust from the rear wheels. The front mountings are designed to support the weight of the engine and control its torsional characteristics. The mounting pads are fastened between engine mounting brackets extending upward from the car frame and brackets extending outward from the crankcase. The front engine mounting pads are located on opposite sides of the engine near the center, fore and aft, and approximately midway between top and bottom of the cylinder crankcase. Special synthetic rubber pads having the required friction characteristics are used to provide controlled damping properties. See figure 2-3.ДЎ950 Buick Engine and Transmission Mountings The engine and transmission assembly is supported at three points on вЂњControlled FrequencyвЂќ mountings. The bore, stroke, piston displacement, compression ratio and horsepower of all engines are given under Engine General Specifications (par. Drive is standard and synchromesh transmissions are not available in this series.

The Series 70 uses only one engine since Dynaflow. The bore and piston displacement has also been increased. Compared with previous Series 50 and present Series 1.0 engines the overall height has been reduced by shortening the cylinders, pistons and connecting rods. It also differs from the other engines in having the piston pins offset 1/16вЂі and the camshaft offset 1/8вЂќ toward the camshaft side from the centerline of the cylinder bores.

The Series 50 engine, designated as the вЂњF263вЂі engine, differs from previous Series 50 and present Series 40 and 70 in having all crankshaft bearings of the same diameter from front to rear. These engines differ only in the following respects: (1) The synchromesh engine uses a thick cylinder head gasket and the Dynaflow engine uses a thin gasket to obtain a higher compression ratio and horsepower flywheels and crankshafts at flywheel mounting flange are different as explained in paragraph 2-5 (d).

The Series 50 uses two engines-one designed for synchromesh transmissions and the other designed for Dynaflow Drive. 036вЂі has been milled to obtain a higher compression ratio and horsepower (3) Flywheels and crankshafts at flywheel mounting flange are different as explained in paragraph 2-5 (d). Both engines are identical except for the following items: (1) The synchromesh engine uses plain sleeve valve lifters with adjustable valve lash-the Dynaflow engine uses hydraulic valve lifters with no lash adjustment (2) The synchromesh engine uses a thick cylinder head gasket-the Dynaflow engine uses a thin gasket and a different cylinder head from which. The Series 40 uses two engines-one designed for synchromesh transmissions and the other designed for Dynaflow Drive. The 8-cylinder, in-line, valve-in-head engines used in Series 40, 50 and 70 are of the same general design and external appearance, differing principally in bore and stroke, compression ratio, power, and dimensions of parts.
