i have a 69 malibu... it will not be at the strip... just a driver and show....
my question is what mods do i NEED to do?

thanks everyone...

Really need a little more info, what size engine and trans is in the car now? Installing a 502 is not really any different than installing a 396 or any other short deck big block. If changing over from a small block you will need the accessory brackets.

right now it has a 350 engine... with a 350 trans
i know things like the motor mounts will need changed,also the front springs need to be for a big block,exhaust will need to be 3" i think.
i have a 4 row radiator in it already.
trans mount? will that need to be moved??
will i need a th400? you know little things like that.......
i hope not to have to change the rear end ... but if i have to i will.
and if i do....what is a good one to put in? just an occasional driver,on a nice day... no drags that i think of will be done with it.
i hope you guys have a better idea of what i am looking to do.

thanks undee,and risk!!

thats a nice 72... i will be reading about it. i can use all the help i can get.
