Anyways, It's an unfinished project that I'm getting to start, run and stop, and then sell. It came with a trans crossmember that just attaches to the bottom rail, but it fits and will work good, only have to drill a couple of holes. I was hoping to use the smog manifolds, but no way are they going to fit unless I remove the tubes or raise the engine, going to order headers tonight.
I am with you as i too have done a 454 swap into my A body (chevelle). Which was a simple drop in. I would think the squarebodys would be the same for dropping in a BB versus a SB.
