Hello, I know it’s not a g body but it’s close, I have a very clean 81 Lesabre (im on the bbody forum too but it’s way dead over there), so I’m here to show off my latest project, this car has a 700r4 out of a 91 1500 and a 350 out of a mid 80s gbody of some sort, it is a very horrifically done swap, also the 700r is lacking 3rd and 4th, this winter im hoping to properly swap in a 454/th400 and that’s why I’m here, it’s my first time actually swapping a motor and transmission for a different motor and transmission, so I’ll likely have some questions that will need answering. If welcome I’ll be posting the build as it progresses, thanks

This winter I'm hoping to properly swap in a 454/th400 and that’s why I’m here,
With the extra engine bay space you might want to add a pair of turbos to your 454. ;)
