Swapping in a big block

This is the route I was going to go with the B block install. http://engine-swaps.com/noframes/home.html I don't see any reason you could not use solid mounts with this kit if neccessary either.

Like I said my first 400 going into the car is going to be relatively mild. I don't plan on increasing HP or torque much until I can get the car to hook and launch strait. I will most likely go with Motor plates when I install the 502 ci engine.

I saw in the new Summit catalog that Moser has an 8.75" housing for A bodies now. I was thinking of going that route myself for the rear end. Schumacher has under chassis B/RB headers.

The only other 'Fit" issue, besides the hood possibly, is the power steering gear box. I was going to look for a Manual gear box for mine.

I'm not sure about the dropped centerlink since I'm not that far along with mine atm.
