Whats all needed to swap a 454 BBC into a 3.1/5 Speed Car?
Picking up a running 454 complete engine this weekend. Just wondering what I need to do the swap right. Im assuming special headers, some sort of engine mount conversion kit, and of course some sort of trans that will hold the power (manual) Any help is appreciated
