As soon as I got home I installed a 429 out of a police car that had been wrecked along with the C6 tranny. That was the smartest thing I ever did and it was almost a bolt in conversion. I had to cut down the drive shaft and move the rear cross member and that was it! The next year I went back to Colorado and back to that same hole and it was NO PROBLEM. Tons of power! I would rather have any engine than a 352. Totally useless!
