Just completed the engine swap on my 72. I had been picking your brains trying to figure out what was needed. Well, almost nothing, I have a Turbo 400 tranny, it bolted right up, did change flex plate and torque converter (torque converter was in increase stall), used same starter, changed motor mounts at the frame, by choice. The old ones would have worked. And new headers of course, but overall, everything was very easy to do. Sold the 454 for 3,500! Putting my fuel cell and battery in the trunk, but leaving the gas tank in for now.
Can't wait to start her up, getting close now. My 400 (406) has a new compstar balanced crank, SRP JE 4cc domes, Oliver 6" rods, Crane cam, solids, roller rockers, girdles, 205 (200 runners) world iron heads massive porting and polished to the vic jr intake, 910 Holley, MSD, and lots more.
I'll get a video up on utube and link here when I get a run out of her.
