Re: 500 c.i. cadillac in a 82 chevy truck

This swap is fairly easy. I'm doing the same swap in my '86. All I did for the mounts was flip the sbc mount perches to the opposite side of the frame. This will angle them forward. You will have to do some trimming to the perches to clear your steering. Once that is done, you can mount stock cadillac mounts to them and the Cad motor will drop right in. You will need to trim the pinch weld between the firewall and the floor to clear the driver's side head. I got pics around somewhere. I'll try to get some up.
