I put a 400 in my 84 1/2 ton 4x4 and like it. When you go from a 305 to 350 or other your exhaust manifolds and piping are different. I'm not sure about the big block mounts but the trans. will bolt right up, other than redrilling your flexplate/flywheel since the bolt pattern is different on the overdrive/bigblock. With a 400 or larger you'll need a bigger radiator/fan and your shroud will need some modification. And on my buddy's truck with the big block he had to use one of those flexible top radiator hoses. If I were to do it again I'd go with a 350, alot less work.
