BBC Swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just another BBC swap...

Next week I'll be pulling the SBC 350 out of my 64 short fleet, in favor of a BBC 402. The 402 has been pulled complete out of a 71 C30 with mount brackets, and freshened up a bit by me.

I'm assuming that the 71 mount brackets will bolt onto my 64 frame/crossmember and will shift the motor/trans forward away from the firewall. Thus I'll have to shift the transmission crossmember for my TH400 forward and lengthen the driveshaft.

I'm open to advice of suggestions from anyone who has swapped a BBC in this way. Thanks!
