Now for the questions.
Are the frame mounts the same for all size V8s?
-frame mounts for pontiacs differ by year of engine, so what year Pontiac 400 are you using?
If I use the Pontiac trans, is there any other mods to the cross member other than moving it back? I've seen the adapter to bolt my TH350 to the Pontiac motor.
-use pont. TH350, chevy crossmember will be fine. no need to adapt chevy trans to Pont. 400
Can I hook up my shifter linkage to the Pontiac trans?
-yes, use chevy trans linkage bracket on pontiac trans shaft.
Will I be able to use my stock drive shaft?
-yes, pont. TH 350 should be in the same position on the frame.
Will I need to get a new kick down cable for the Pontiac 350 trans? (I'm not sure if Pontiac called their 350 trans a TH350)
- kick down cable is the same
Will I need to get a different speedo cable?
- no.
Can I use my Chevy radiator, or will I have to use one from a Pontiac A-body?
- use BB chevy radiator or SBC one from AC car. BB is better.
Will it be easier to run manifolds instead of headers?
-you could use either.
Will headers for the Pontiac motor fit on the Chevelle?
- if you mean will pontiac headers clear a chevelle frame yes. pontiac headers on a chevy motor or vice versa, no.
now battery needs to be switched sides along with fuel line, chey Ps pump must use pontiac brackets, chevy AC compresssor and lines must be switched, as well as alternator.
