Putting a big block in a j body

[mopar guy]

I am a new member & I am putting a stroked 400 in a 81 Cordoba. I am looking for any helpful information. I rebuilt the front end with a kit from PST, I have a 8 3/4 with super stock springs & 411 gears. I have a motor mount kit from schumacher with the tranny mount. Waiting for my engine to be finished its being built by AMT a local shop here in St. Louis. I also have the tri y headers from schumacher because they are supposed to be an easy fit. Any input with this project would be greatly appreciated Mopar Guy

Welcome aboard, use solid K Frame mounts to tie the front rails together.

your gonna want a k-car brake booster (smaller diameter) or go with manual brakes so the valve cover clears the master cylinder
