    Hello ALL
    I have a 71 c-10 2wheel drive longbed truck with a 350/350 drivetrain in it...
    I have a crate (g.m.) big block 435hp 500ft.
    I have the bigblock frame stands and bigblock motor mounts
    desert cooler radator...
    what else is there to change to do this swap..??
    I understand that the front springs might need to be changed but we'll see after it's in and run down the road...
    anything else thats different...I'm not tring to make it stock (looking) just want to have all the parts on hand before I start...
    I've got the ass.brackets and headers for exhaust/carb/fuel pump/etc..
    no hoses yet as I don't know if the radator outlets and thermo. housing outlet are in same place as a shock big block trucks..!!anyone got pic's ??????????
    thanks again for any help...:D

    I am not positive but you might have a clearance issue with your brake power booster... (if you have one that is , if you don't with that much extra weight and horsepower you better think about upgrading to power..) again, this is just speculation , but that is the only thing that comes to mind right off, other then what you have already mentioned.
    good luck.
