I am going to be swapping my 389 for a 455 sometime in the near future. What I need advice on is the following so I can get the correct parts:
1. Will I be able to install all my '65 389 parts that are pulley driven (WP/Dampner/PS/Alt) on the front of a 455? I am going to a 11 bolt water pump w/ a 1971 timing cover and will probably be using either 6x or #96 heads.
2. Will the pulleys line up or is the dimensions of the 11 bolt different?
3. What else do I need to consider?

Thanks.... Jim
