You might want a heat shield that came on the bb cabs that bolts to the fire wall on the passenger side next to the exhaust manifold.
Also a heat shield for the starter if you use the big starter as again the exhaust manifold is bigger and hotter and close to the starter.
The 350th fits with out a hump and I believe the 400th will also ,
And I think the front coils are a heavier coil for the bb trucks compared to the sb..
just some stuff tha I have learned on here I felt like sharing just in case you didnt know ..gp Larry

I think you are right about the front coils being heavier duty with the BBs. We put a 454 in my '71 and it lowered the frontend a couple of inches. It still rides and handles ok, but I might put a set of 3/4 ton springs in it I have.
