Default 455 in 73 Nova

I still have the mounts I bought from IA for a 78 grand lemans that I was going to use,but the headers were going to have to be fabricated so I scrapped that project cause 1500.00 dollars was a little to much for headers.I have the frame mounts and motor mounts.Also would it be possible to put in a 400 trans. without a lot of modifications?I appreciate all the help and info you guys can give me.NoNova did you use a 4 row radiator or did you have to use a smaller one?When you say relocate the fuel lines are you saying completely from front to back or just a section of the line?Sorry for all the questions,but I just want to know what i'm getting into.Thanks again.

I used the rad. that was in my car, a stock replacement Modine for an Omega w/ac, 23"x17"x2" 3 row.
You can reroute the fuel line front to back if you want OR you can hard line (don't use rubber) an extension across the front crossmember as I did.
You shouldn't have any problems using a 400 trans but I'm not sure if the crossmember is the same. anyone else know?
Any other questions don't hesitate to ask.....that's what we're here for
