When I yank this 350, and put this 454 in...it should hook right up to the same tranny I was told. Is this right ? Thanx smile

need more info. I believe the small block bell housing will not work on the big block.

Hy IsolationRide, yes it should bolt up. All Chevrolet V8s from 1955 up to the LS series (1997?) have the same bellhousing bolt pattern, also the inline sixes from 1963 up, I,m not sure about the Chevy V6s as I have no experience with them. Hope that helps

the TH400 is a commonly used trans with a 454, although you might look for a 4L80, which is as beefy as the 400 but has OD

Just make sure you have the correct flywheel for the 454. The 350 flywheel will not work on the 454.
