It can be done!

I had an 82 Firebird with a 455. You need a BOP trans from a Firebird that has the mounting bracket for the torque arm that runs back to the diff. You also need olds motor / frame mounts. I just welded the frame mounts to the frame.

No problem with the shock towers. It is an easy swap. Now I am looking at taking that engine and putting it in my 1969 Caprice with the Chevy TH400. I think I can get mounts from a 1969 Delta 88 and get the BOP-chevy trans adapter and make it work. Can anyone verify that?
