What Engine Swaps have been Done

Nope it was easy...Its the same engine bolt pattern and motor mount.
I swapped out the frame engine mounts I happened to have them I didnt go looking as they are obsolete from gm.
You would be advised to look to a wrecking yard for these mounts FYI: these mounts are the 1 of 3 in the mount that uses 6 7/16 bolts In pairs of 3, bolts to the frame and crossmember.
Sourcing the gas eng pullies and hang on parts alt, power steering pump (w 2 returns, water pump. Keep in mind none of the hang on parts from the 6.2 will fit the 7.4. I did the swap over a weekend with proper engine hoist and air tools, jack stands etc.
.If you have questions pm me.

How is the 454 working out? Was it a hard swap to do, and how long would you say it took?

marks86, do you have a thread here on that conversion? If not, could you start a new thread and do one, with lots of pictures, etc? Would love to hear how this is working out for you, and what all was involved.

Thanks!
