Installing 454(496) into 77 L-82 Th400 Car
Thanks in advance, I have searched this forum for weeks and cannot seem to locate any simple straight answers to the following questions.
77 L82 Car with AC
No Smog pump
Power steering = yes
Alternator
Water pump
Hooker Super Comp Headers
Electric Fan/ pusher in front of condensor.
Aluminum radiator.
1. What exactly is needed to install pully system, even without AC for the time being as this is only a nice weather toy.
pullies?
brackets?
idlers?
Or if anyone can reccomend an aftermarket setup that can use a Sanden AC compressor etc.
2. Are there any differences in the power steering setup, ram, control valve etc? As far as I can tell it all appears the same.
The small block motor mounts willl work, I set the motor in the car and seemed fine.

Though I'm pretty sure the PS pump is a bit different as well..
