In addition to what Walt said....... What I found to be biggest pain is BB springs for the front, and the most expensive so far has been the BB radiator. I forgot about stuff like this. Plan on spending some serious money. It seems like nothing from a small block fits a big block. Although, many parts do. There's a lot you can do with a 350. And item for item the parts are usually much cheaper. However, when done you'll always feel the difference if there's a BB. Sorry I didn't help much. Jim
