Without all the purist having fits and throwing stuff I am down in Australia and my 301 died at Xmas in my 1980 TA, I have purchased a X Brand 454 and am having trouble with mounts,,,, Is there a std mount combo (Engine and Frame) that allow this conversion.
Thanx http://forums.performanceyears.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

you should be able to use camaro mounts for the small block chev and put in your big block on those mounts.hooker makes haeders for that and others may also. I don't care what some others may say about your swap [gotta do what you gotta do] you car will be wickedly fast. It should be asimple straightforward swap .enjoy. jim
