I was wondering what all I need to get to drop a 454 into a 1972 Nova w/ the original inline 6. I know that I need stiffer springs, but what all will be needed?



Thanks for the help.........

Motor mounts & frame brackets for the BBC
Turbo 400 crossmember if you're planning on using a T400
Bigger radiator
Fan shroud
Disc brakes would be nice if it doesn't have them already
Subframe connectors if you're gonna drive it like I would

heavy duty tierod ends and drag link

That all sounds good, but as for the TH400, I'll prob. be going in the direction of a manual 4-speed, or something of the sort, what do you all think would be a good transmission setup for an aggressive street car?

Big Block Novas had a different heater core also.

The right head will hit the water outlets coming out of the firewall.
