[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2912645, member: 29706"] I helped a guy do a swap from a SB 400 to a BB 454 in a 57 when I was in my teens. He built the 400 but something wasn't right as it kept bending pushrods. We pulled the engine and trans out of a 80's suburban and dropped it in. Never got to see it run under it's own power after that though I did "drive" it while being chain towed from one place to another. Was supposed to have it completed my senior year and get to drive it to school for a week for helping out but it never happened. The guy who owned it before the one I knew had seen some HUGE ladder traction bars and did some homebrew ones that connected to the frame near the middle of the doors (2 door version.) The one thing I know for sure is it was a HEAVY beast, we used to use a bumper jack to break the beads off the rim for tires with it. [/QUOTE]
