I am replacing my tired 350 in my 72 GMC with a correct 402 and t400 trans from a 72 cheyenne. I have the correct a/c brackets and alt, pwr st pump and reservoir. Can anyone tell me what else I will need to change ? Motor mounts ? Radiator/and or shroud?

Lots of guys have done this - I would look through the build threads.

You will need the engine frame mounts and motor mounts too. Wouldn't hurt to grab the 4 row radiator and all of it's parts. WES

You will also need a different yoke if you are changing from a TH350 to a TH400.
