Re: help w/engine swap (455 in 89 FB)
1. If the engine don't fit, I'll have to do some cutting, I guess. As far as the exhaust, I have a friend who can make custom headers. He does all the work himself. I trust he does good work, because he built a 383 stroker for his sixty-something nova, put twin turbos on it (all plumbing fabricated by himself), and his own headers/exhaust. The point is he dyno'd at 1385 hp and 1410 ft/lbs torque at the rear wheels. So, he'll probably do my exhaust for me.
2. Everyone I talked to said just to get the stock big block motor mounts so it sits down in there like its supposed to. And there's already holes (that supposedly fit) drilled in the frame, a few inches in front of the 2.8 motor mount holes.
3. It will be a drag car but, I am still going to order special springs and stuff for the front end.
4. I'm just going to remove the electronic pump all together then use the one up front.
5. Already bought. Bolt on frame ties from Jegs. $179
6. Budweiser Select.
