simple enough swap,

301 mounts for the block, possibly mid 70's t/a mounts will work but i can't confirm this.

headers are available, but the good ones aren't cheap.

I did the swap in a 80 Gp. I used the block mounts from a old 301 and the frame mounts for a 400, I got them at the local auto parts store.

How is your project going? I put a 400 (Pontiac) in to an 85 G Body (GP) and having a lot of fun with it.
