I'm curious to see where this build goes. Sounds a lot like my build. The more I drive it though the more I wish it had a t56 so if that's something you are thinking about I would recommend going that route in the first place. Save yourself some time and do it once. Either way good choice for s build.

nice project Yeah I was going to put an 80 in mine like my 73 then decide on T-56 for my 69. It's almost done. Yayy!!!
Nice project by the way! Can't wait to see how it turns out
I would suggest using Holley 302-2 oil pan and getting their alternator and power steering bracket setup as well. Will save you alot of time.

heater hose Did the passenger side head cover your heater hose connections? My engine fired right up on the stand, but, That was after I found you have to have a TBSS pedal! Pedal schematics looked the same as the truck pedal but it didn't work. I also have LS3 injectors so that needs to be tuned in. Also, I should have bought motor mounts that set the engine forward at least 1.5" to clear the heater hoses and line up the 4L70 trans with the cross member holes. The hooker headers outlets are spaced wider than the exhaust bends in both the turbo 400 and turbo 350 trans cross members. The list goes on....If I were to do this again, I would buy a complete swap package specific to this car but I just couldn't pull the trigger on what it costs. Seems like everything I touch has to be built or modified in one way or another. But I'm keeping my eyes on the prize!
