454/th400 swap
Will a 454 backed by a th400 fit into a 73-87 that originally came with a small block without any major complications? do I have to use one that originally came with a big block and that trans?
thnx in advance

I did a BBC swap and even the motor mounts are the same. Just move the trans. crossmember to it's new location and there may be holes in the frame or drill them like I did.
