Question 91 caprice classic 454 swap

ok guys so like every other b body fanatic i want to build a ridiculous sleeper. i had a 95 wagon lt1 and drove it like i stole it everyday, lasted 20,000 miles lol. So now i wanna take this tired old girl and bring her back as a 500+hp sleeper. the 500 hp part will come in time but first i have to know aside from tranny and motor mounts and driveshaft and rear end, what else to you have to modify to drop one of these bad boys in? i really wanna find a way to tie it to a 4 or 5 speed of some kind and i know theres guys who put the T-56's in the lt1 cars which is awesome but i miss my big block rumble. any help would be appreciated. forgot to mention we have a 91 305 car with 199,500 miles on it. at least i know doin a carb will be easy

The easy part might be right, but cheap? It's all relative I guess. We want pics, and time slips when you're done. Have fun with the project.

Not sure if a th400 could handle that, I want to make a nice 350 sbc for mine and either a t-56 or Richmond T10. I got a 92 Caprice classic.

not stock no, but i know a tranny guy so we can get er done, and it shouldn't cost more than 4000 which is pricy but she should be running 11's so its worth it. hopefully it will be done this fall and yeah i'll update with pics

Not sure the stock front springs will be up to the added weight of the big block ?

God bless
