454 Swap
Im highly consitering converting my 6.2 to 454 gazzer because plans are changing for its use, It was going to be a dayli driver, but since i have gotten 2 other cars that i enjoy for that duty im going to use it to mostly hauling trailers. so i fuel economy aint a issus anymore
Sender unit? mine has 2 Feed and return so im thinking i might get away with using those from my diesel set up? Motor mounts they should be the same from a 6.2 to a bigblock right? Radiator? mine is a Huge 4 core diesel rad, that should be plenty for a bigblock right? Clutch and SM456 bell housing are those the same?

Re: 454 Swap
The motor mounts are the same, I would think the radiator would be more than enough...I had a big block burb and it's radiator was smaller than the one in my diesel burb. You will have to plug the ports for the engine oil cooler. IIRC the diesel has a 12" clutch, I'm not sure if that will bolt up to your 454 flywheel. The bellhousing will bolt up. I'm not sure about the fuel lines...my burb and my shortbed have a supply and return on the frame and I haven't seen a dual supply set up.

Re: 454 Swap
A couple pics of BB swaps for 6.2's.
I used a Carter CRT 4530 mechanical fuel pump on my conversion. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CRT-M4530/ |
