Only one i could find. I know i have a turquoise 57 bel air, and a Taurus edition Ford F150, but i have no idea where they are.
Those are the only 3 i have.
You can have this one if you want it. #349
It has a hydroboost brake/power steering, and matching power steering pump, but bracket is going to be fun to fine.
Im going to leave the stock intake. Seems to be fine, and low enough. Also already had a long shaft HEI that works fine.
Intake is square bore already, so ill just run my AFB...
The flex plate is off a 70s 305 i bought for parts. Its a even 6 bolt pattern, matches my 6 bolt converter perfectly, i test fit it.
The pan looks like its going to be the only issue. Its massive. If it will fit, ill it, but if wont, ill have to change it.
Well its in, sorta. Trans lined up, my new mount lined up, lined up and went on the trans, and is lined up on the mounts. Everything seems to clear all the way around it. Only issue is, its seems the pan is hitting the crossmember a little tiny bit. Gonna pull it again, and see if i can...
@Dooley
Youve done this before, right?
I know you weren't a huge fan of it, but im kinda set on wanting to.
Got any info, or big things that were a pain? Got any pics?
Another question, there seems to be a dual bolt pattern on the brackets. The "v8" truck had the mount on the top set, and the 292 bracket has it on the bottom set.
Which one fits for BBC?
So i had these sitting around. Bolt pattern lines up on the block. These should be good right?
And this the mount bracket setup it had for 292...
But i took that passenger side one out, and put in one from my "V8" parts truck C10. Seems to line up right, i think.
Drivers side one seemed the...
I ran the numbers, its came back as a 81 427T.
Motor was low mileage. It runs great.
I have all the accessory drive brackety for a big block, and all the old brackets off this 427.
Just because really.
Because i have a truck that needs a running engine, and a i have a running engine that has no specific home. Figured id be a good replacment for that 292. They're both heavy, low RPM, high torque, engines.
And this thing probabaly jas sme srupid rea gear like a 4:56 or...
I look extensively threw the treads to find answers. Found a few, but none that applied to my situation and swap exactly. And have a few offball questions too.
Never done a engine swap from 6 to 8, or sb to bb, especially not straight 6 to BBCV8. Only same size to same size.
The truck a 81 C30...
Oh it was no big deal, i just got it yesterday, was just sitting in my shop.
Thats really cool, didn't know that was rare. Good to know, thanks.
Ill keep an eye out for the one you need.
Oh okay. Figured none of the junk i took yesterday would be of any use, but figured id mention it anyway.
This is the bracket anyway. Totally goofy looking.
Sure, will do.
This was out of an RV. Have a serp style belt going from water pump to alternator, then v belts on the AC, power Steering, smog, and hydraulic pump.
