Would a Cadillac 400 and the Chevy 400 be the same except for the bolting to the motor, I would assume so. I would like to go with the Caddy 472, its turbo 400 and maybe I should find a NP 205. The Caddy motors have alot of torque, would be good for towing. Should I keep the 96 frame and try and shoehorn in the drivetrain and covert to front springs and the Dana 44 with the 14 bolt rear or go with the Blazer frame and put the 96 body on it? Any opions? Thanks
