I am sure others will chime in who know more than I about this but here is some things you may need.

What are you starting with? If it is a slant then things like bigger brakes, T bars and rad would be nice. Going to need some motor mounts. www.engine-swaps.com should have what you need. Or I think there may be another place that has them for a little less but don't remember the name.

Going to need a BB trans and the drive shaft length adjusted.


Headers or manifolds.


Thats all I can think of but I am sure others will chime in with more.


Good luck

When you go to engine- swaps website, that will be Schumacher creative services. They will have the motor mounts you will need. They also carry headers that will fit. Now they are not as good as TTI under chassie headers for flow, but I have no trouble with the Schumacher headers. You will to do some trimming on the small block K-frame for oil pump clearance. Now you will have to make sure you get shims with the motor mounts if you plan on running a high volume oil pump. Your oil filter will be close to the K-frame. If you want to move it up alittle the shims will help. You can run a 7 1/4 rear to start, but if you plan on really getting into the power of a big block, I would recommend a 8 1/4 or an 8 3/4 rear axle. You will have to decide what radiator and fans to use. The clearance between the water pump and radiator is close. Need any answers send me a PM or E-mail.
