Dual quad · 10-24-2004, 09:49 AM

I've got a chance at a decent 402 from a '70 Chevelle SS. I'm thinking that the motor would be alot of fun in my SWB. My '72 presently has a tired 350, 350TH, 3.73 diff. My question is: What kink of hardware would I need to do the swap? & Is the stuff readily available and resonably inexpensive? I think I'll need the following - BB crossmember, BB motor mounts, BB accessory brackets, and BB fanshroud. If this swap proves too expensive to source the hardware, I think I'll go with a 406 (30 over 400). Any comments are appeciated.
