I can't help you with specifics as you already have more engine than I do, but welcome to the board.

You will want to get a set of BB frame brackets. 71-72 are the most sought after. They lower the engine in the frame, but are more expensive. They also use a different style mount to the engine. 67-70 style are easier to find, cheaper and still work just as well. They use a mount similare to the one you have on your SB, and the engine sits a little higher. If you have the money go for the 72 type, but it's not necessary.
As for the trans bracket, get an auto crossmember out of about any truck. Then you just line it up with the pre-drilled hole n the frame. Which holes you use will depend on which mounts you get. Hope this helps |

RC,
Micah (Desert Rat) is THE MAN when it comes to the parts necessary to make your swap. He provided all the stuff that I needed for my BB conversion. Give him a shot. You won't be disappointed. Larry |

BB stands
Actually the 67 - 71 stands are the same. You can pick them up pretty cheap, but the engine mounts are pretty pricey. Or you can find a set of 72 stands. The stands are more expensive, but the mounts are cheap. The 72 stands let the motor sit a little better in the frame IMO. Here is a pic of the 72 stands....
