    Chevy 454 Engine

    Gm. Has anybody put a 454 Chevy in a 65 Riviera. I know it might sound crazy but I'm thinking about putting a 454 in my 65 Rivi if so what motor mounts did you use and were there any complications in the swap. Thanks.

    Won't be an easy swap as it is SO much wider than the "Nail", & very much heavier. I will assume there will be many clearance issue problems.
    Just my thoughts.
