Re: new guy needs big block swap advice/tips.
A few things you are going to want to think about...
1st new radiator right off the bat. New tranny. Motor stands (can be found cheap but the factory style is around 200 used) or you can use 3rd gen stands and motor mounts. Shift linkage. Depending on headers (long/short) you might need to modify the tranny cross member. Drive shaft depending on tranny choice and placement of the engine. Make sure you have big block brackets because they are not cheap either.
Now I am not trying to scare you sway from going big block, but I have been working on mine since the 28th of December and yesterday was the first day I actually drive it around for an extended period of time. The receipts add up very quickly. Mostly from hardware and beer. But which ever you choose make s ure you keep us posted, and plenty of pics
