ok originally the 78 z28 had the 350, but i bought it with a 454, its not bolted in right now and im wondering if i can use the stock motor mounts.

Also i know i need heavier springs, im also planning on moving my battery to the back and getting rid of the a/c components to lessen the weight.

Would i need to upgrade my radiator, starter, etc...?

If so, what all would i need to replace to match up with this mark IV 454.

I'm getting the t-56 magnum conversion from hurst also so im already upgrading the clutch flywheel etc..


Please help me with this, i just started about 6 months ago on restoring/rebuilding. Thanks!

 

Use the same motor mounts.
Springs are fine, it's only 100 lbs. heavier.
Bigger radiator, and starter are needed. Could use the same starter for awhile, but it will eventually fail. Not sure what a hose pump is?
Hood wont clear, so you'll need a scoop or cowl hood.

 

it came with a 4 in cowl heh
