Re: is it possable?

I take it, what you're REALLY talking about is a 454, that has maybe had to be rebuilt?

Since you've read and absorbed all that info in the BBC "sticky" at the top of the page, and no doubt also searched and just scrolled down the page and read all of the hundreds of other posts about installing big blocks, are there any specific questions left that we could help you with?

Re: is it possable?

ok im a noob, i didnt notice any big block swaps, bout apperently i missed it, sorry. and no its a 460, a ford 460 came out of a 74 thunderbird. and i was just wondering if i could drop it in, al tho how would the suspension hold? and ofcourse the obvious will there be enough space without haveing to chop and fabucate things

In some cases, a lobotomy is also helpful. This may be one of those cases.

If you're considering it because it's "what you have", then sell what you have and put a Chevy engine in it.
