I do have a few questions I have a chevy 350 that I am going to put in it. The motor come out if a 1987 chevy truck I was wondering if there is anyhting I should look out for when doing the swap? For example will the motor mounts change over and will the bell houseing match up? Also how strong are the three on the tree set ups my motor was dynoed out to alittle over 400 hp.

I believe around 86 or 87 they went to the one piece rear seal and you will have to have the later fly wheel. I had a 425 HP 409 in a 63 with the three speed and it would get destroyed if I got on it. I ended changing to the T400 automatic.
