as far as motor mounts go i'd get the actual chassis mounts made for a big block and use a older style mounts instead of the shells. they seem to be easier to work with.i out a BB in my 70 with stock SB springs and it is fine. just might want to get some heavy dity shocks. i have some Koni adjustable shocks and the front end is pretty stiff, not a lot of bouncing like you would expect with the extra weight.
