Re: 454 Swap

The motor mounts are the same, I would think the radiator would be more than enough...I had a big block burb and it's radiator was smaller than the one in my diesel burb. You will have to plug the ports for the engine oil cooler. IIRC the diesel has a 12" clutch, I'm not sure if that will bolt up to your 454 flywheel. The bellhousing will bolt up. I'm not sure about the fuel lines...my burb and my shortbed have a supply and return on the frame and I haven't seen a dual supply set up.
