Slowly chipping away at it, Got the fenders and hood off, have all the front accessories off the motor and brackets broke down to powder coat BUT...
I may not need to powder coat anything for a 350. Going Thursday to look at 454, built by a long time friend that's had it for years and has been asking me to buy it for some time now. I know its built right, exact specs to come. I'm gonna do some research on the 454 to 700r4 mating, I know it isn't the absolute recommendation but for a street use 4x4 I may get away with it, I have a shift kit and corvette servos so I may be alright. Other than that I need to figure out my mounting situation and if its all gonna line up. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Also, Have a OEM front sway bar crossmember on order to replace the disgusting hack job that I have now. Pics to come.
