just did one.put a 383 in it. not bad at all.the mounts i used have some adjustment in em so you can move the engine about an inch back or forth.worked dang good.the headers fit nice too..its not a bad swop.you mite want to take a look at the radiator. it mite be a bit too small for the v-8.we used a 700r4.worked out purdy good .hope you have as good of luck as we did.
