Hello all, I have been gone for a while but I did manage to find time to get the 454 shoe horned into the farm truck. After talking with some folks I decided to just do it my way. I sat the 454 on the stock 350 mounts, but it sat a bit too far forward. So then I got to looking at this issues, jacked the motor up and swapped the frame mounts side to side. Slid the mounts towards the front of the slot and drilled the holes for the bottom bolts. It made for tight clearance with my headers but it all fits! I was thinking of making a swap book what do y'all think?
