Re: 454 swap to 83 z28

This came up a couple of weeks ago, and at the time, the sticky was broken. So start with this thread: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...-454-swap.html

The 454 mounts just like your 305, using your 305 mounts. You can use the transmission from the 305, but the 454 will break it, very soon.
