INTERCHANGEABLE PARTS
There are several parts used in the 348 and 409 motors which are common to either the 283 - 350 small blocks and the 396 - 427 - 454 mark iv big block.
The bellhousing bolt pattern is the common SB - BB pattern.
The motor mounts are standard SB, but I suggest you use the locking type - cheap insurance!
Fuel pump is small block.
Hyd lifters are SB.
Oil pump to dissy drive shaft is BB, use only steel retainer.
Overall dimentions are not much more than a SB and weight is less than a BB.
The 348 - 409 will bolt into the same spot a SB was and if the SB had the standard 1962 283 type 2" Rams Horn exhaust manifolds, the standard 348 2'' manifolds will connect to these SB engine pipes.
