Hi All,
I have been lurking on the site for a while and I recently bought a 68 m715 with a very tired but running 230 in it everything stock except michelin xls and marsh wheels. My brother has a good running 72 chev 427 truck motor that he is willing to let go for 300 bucks, it runs good no smoke or knocks. I will probably go sm 465 or 420. All I have right now is the engine alone with nothing else. I did some research on the site and correct me but it looks like I will need the following:
Chev bell housing and sm465 from 70's or 80's pickup 2wd.
big radiator from big block chevelle
fab some spicergear motor mounts (or open to suggestions)
what headers should I use? or are there any manifolds that will work
12v alternator and brackets
I will probably have to fab clutch linkage
I live in the Rochester,ny area so if anyone has some of this stuff for sale let me know
I'm not that good with wiring so if someone has a simple wiring diagram it would be greatly appreciated.
Has any one put together a list of tips and part numbers for this swap?
the more info the better thank you
