**57NAPCO** · 02-21-2018, 09:18 AM

I’ve had a 496 engine that Mark at Vortec Pro built for me back in 2010. It’s been sitting on my engine stand for about 4 years after pulling it out of another truck I have.

The truck it’s going in (84 K30 454) has a SM465 transmission, the previous truck (76 C35) was an automatic (TH400).

I was going to order some Hedman (ceramic coated) Hedders, motor mounts, transmission mounts, clutch kit.
Anything else I’m forgetting?

Any feedback or opinions are welcome...
