ok I know this may start a war but I'm swapping my 72 delta 88 from a 350/ th400 sbo to a 632 4 speed bbc I need engine mounting advice any ideas

 

I moved your thread to the non-olds powered section. I'm not sure if you can use motor mount frame brackets from a Chevrolet Impala, Biscayne, Bel Air, Caprice, Kingswood, Townsman, Brookwood or possibly have to fab your own. The rest is minor electrical, fuel line mods, and possible ebrake cable and driveshaft mods due to trans length.

 

thanks for movin it I'm checkin it to see I love my 350 rocket but finding parts to hop it up sucks and 455s are few an far between

 

it looks like I'm gonna have to get universal bbc/sbc mounts and mock it up in the car before I weld them in how much do you think the 350r is worth

 

I forgot to ad that the clutch pedal assy may be a challenge but not impossible with todays hydraulics.

 

I decided to go with a full manual 700r4 so I wont need the clutch I'm still trying to figure out the mount situation for the engine

 

Speedway has hot rod mounts that you can weld in if there are no frame brackets that cross to the Delta.

 

do you know any one who has a project they need an engine an trans for I'm gonna sell the 350/th400 combo for 1000

 

Put it in the parts for sale section, someone will probably take it.

 

since the car is my daily I gave up on keeping it original I'm kinda missing my overdrive and my sbc ease of finding parts

 

the SBC/BBC motor mount is the same and Im pretty sure the SBO/BBO motor mount is the same, but they are SLIGHTLY different, slightly as in wrong mount wont fit the wrong engine, but the holes in the chassis should be there, drill bolt or weld. I would hepl transplant the same built 350 or 454 into d-cars and lesa's etc year after year for the demos and it was not that hard. Im a little wishy washy on 72 even tho I know intrinsically it should be spot on with the 75/76 models I have worked on

 

have u ever ha issues with it back firing into the intake on a sbo do to a bad exhaust choke
