BBC swap
 

I have a 454 that I'm going to swap into my '89 stepside. What engine mounts will I need (part # if anyone knows it) and will there be any hood clearance issues with the stock hood and a standard height dual plane intake/carb? Any other input is also appreciated. I used the search function and didn't come up with much. Thanks.

I'd think that the same mounts that were used on a 454 SS pickup would be what you would need. That info should be available through any parts vendors (O'Reilly's, etc.).

To my knowledge the bbc and sbc use the same enging mounts. But I'm not 100% on that.

I have a th400, but the I might use a t56 instead. I really would prefer the overdrive. The truck is currently a 350 5 spd.

mine is a 350 with a th350 tranny and i have a built th400 to go behind the 454 so it should be a pretty easy swap. i just need a speed sensor that will work. i heard of taking the tail shaft off a 700r to the th350 and it will work but i dont really know
