Pontiac 400 swap

So I know there is a few threads about this but considering they are all very old and outdated I want some advice I have a 72 trans am and I’m coming into possession of a Pontiac 400 from a 69 firebird I heard the 82 k member had mounting holes for Pontiac motor mounts also what kind of headers

Re: Pontiac 400 swap

@Wasted, What are your goals? You have a 72 T/A, (nice), and are we to assume the 455 HO is long gone (?), and you now have access to a 69 400? Why are you asking about 3rd gen K-frames?
