454 swap

[Fbody69]

I have a 69' camaro with a 350 in it now. I want to put a 454 big block in it, and still want the protouring handling i have with the 350. My car is built on the whole hotchkis line of suspension parts, and koni sport shocks. I know that i have to go with big block drop springs from hotchkis, new motor mounts, fuel pump. I have a brand new bullet proof th-350 transmission from accurate transmission, and a 10-bolt 8.2'' rear with richmond gears, and a brand new ring carrier from eaton with posi. Is my drivetrain enough to handle 500tq that the 454 will put out? If im missing anything please let me know.

Thanks

If you manage to get any kind of straight line rear tire traction you might find that the 10-bolt is your weak link.

I'm no expert but I would think the handling would suffer by adding a couple hundred pounds to the front end. Unless maybe you'll have an aluminum block...:cool:
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for big block power :)
