72 C10 SBC to BBC
 I'm looking to replace the 350 in my 1972 C10 with a 550hp 468.What else will be needed to do it right? Where's the best place to buy the correct motor mounts? Thanks!

Re: 72 C10 SBC to BBC
1972 had a specific big block mount and your best place to find it would probably have to be the classifieds on this forum. You can use 68-71 big block frame stands but you said correct. I would go to the 67-72 classified page and search for some.

Re: 72 C10 SBC to BBC
Mounts and brackets are the biggies. Some accesories may not transfer over (BB power steering pump uses a remote resevoir for example). Radiator and shroud are a must (unless you had AC then you might already have the 4-core rad). Upper and lower hoses are available.
Manifolds are repopped or of course some people run headers.
