K5 - C10 Bigblock.

[1976K5CHALET]

As some of you know my time spent here at this board has led me to aquire a 79 K5 2wd project...a rust free 73 K5 tub in arizona and a 89 front clip...so i guess we all know where the project is going body wise...but...

Good friend of mine here in town who found my 2wd K5 has a 73-75ish rusted out C10 burb that came from somewhere near the wyoming border with colorado...it just happens to have a factory 454 turbo 400 combo in it....my price is $500. My thoughts are wouldn't it be cool to have a 2wd K5 with a BB in it...allthough originally i was looking for an LT1 with a modern overdrive trans for fuel mileage....

My bigblock knowledge is limited as i've allways owned small blocks...i know dropping on tbi would be really easy...and it would be kinda cool but i have some questions for those who know and have been there. Do you move the motor mounts to bolt in that big block? How does the extra weight effect the front coils when you lower the K5? Etc....so if anyways has any sage advise...fire away before i buy this darn thing..lol. And of course pics of a gen 2 C10 with bb would be nice also...
