New here but want to say thanks for all the other information I've already found that's been super helpful. Just finshed rebuilding and stand breaking in a 454 that came out of a 82 k30 and getting ready to swap it for the 350 I've got in my 73 c30. Just making sure I've checked all the boxes before I go to pull this so it's not out of commision for too long. Main things I'm concerned about are new motor mounts, power steering pump mounting bracket, and fuel pump.
1. Seems that I should use the 454 style frame-side mounts, but the block-side mounts off the 350 will work?
2. I've already got the 454 alternator mounting brackets and alternator mounted up. But for the power steering pump I've found it seems I need a 454 style lower mounting bracket, the one currently on the 350 won't work?
3. The 350 pump on there currently has no fuel return line, but the one I've been using on the 454 on the stand has a return line. I can't find one that says it's made for the 454 without the return line. Don't feel like plumbing a new line if I don't need, can I use the 350 pump on the 454?
Any help and clarificaiton would be great, thanks!
