4.3l to 454BB swap..
Ok, I'm working on a 454 to set in my '93 C1500 that has a 4.3L V6 in it. I'd like to know if the front end will hold this beast or do I need to make some changes. Can anyone help?

Re: 4.3l to 454BB swap..
I just completed a 4.3L to 7.4L swap a few months ago in a '93 Sportside and didn’t bother replacing the front coil springs. Actually, like the lower stance it has now and it still rides and handles well. Engine swap thread here
