    Ok, got the hard part outta da way :Brow: now I wanna gather up all the small stuff to complete the change over (at least whatever isn't available new or repro).

    Looking to hook it up to my th350 (column shift). Would guess I need correct throttle linkage parts, a 455-correct fan shroud.

    Motor is absolutely complete - from air cleaner to oil pan - even still has the belts on the pulleys... Since it was out of a full size car, would presume I'd need correct a-body BB exhaust manifolds :Do No: ?

    Man, am I gonna have a lot to learn at the next Tampa club meet :laugh:

    Scott,
    I have all the info on our site below.
    Since you are keeping the TH350, you won't need much:

    1. Frame mounts
    2. Fan shroud
    3. Throttle cable (available new)
    4. New exh pipes and/or system
    5. PS brkts from your existing 350 engine
    6. Radiator hoses
    7. I would install new front springs.
    8. While springs are out, I would redo front A-arms and rest of suspension.
