ZZ 502 -- Fit and another ?
What work would have to be done to make the 502 fit in the 75 bay.
And on the jimpace website they have premium and base engine kits-whats the difference (other than $900)????

It'll fit just fine. The premium kit includes intake and carb, water pump, distributor, wires, looms, plugs and a starter.

Well, this may not be complete and I don't have any specific part numbers but this is what I bought to convert a 75 350 4-speed to a 454 4-speed. I bought everything from Eckler's and from Steve at Corvettes and Classics in Taunton. I just bought everything for a 74BB with PS and no air. Some things I just bought because they were worn out, not necessarily different like the radiator and motor mounts.
complete 1974 454 from a suburban with Edlebrock cam and lifters, Performer Intake(had to pull it) Ed carb, note:454's are externally balanced unlike a 427
short water pump
stamped steel dual crank pulley
stamped steel dual water pump pulley
dual cast iron PS pulley
alternator
2 brackets for alternator,
PS cradle bracket
2 bracket braces (these are pictured in most catalogs as they are taken right from the assy manual)
crank to WP to PS belt
PS to alt belt
upper and lower radiator hoses
new radiator
removed SB shroud extension
Comp Engineering poly lock motor mounts
Hooker Super Comp headers
Full dual exhaust from Steve ( nice fit, heavy gauge, aluminized, 5 year warranty)
Edelbrock Torker II intake, it is the ONLY aftermarket intake low enough to clear a stock hood. A low rise cast iron will fit as well as a 69 Vette aluminum intake
Fan
74 power steering pump, if the car is 75 or later
flywheel, must be a 454 not SB, 396 or 427
new clutch, PP TO bearing and pilot bearing
low valve covers to clear brake booster
air cleaner, drop base style
angle plug wires
throttle bracket
vacuum ports
heater hose fittings
the oil and temp senders screw right in
carb vacuum port for brakes screws right in
clutch ball screws right in
starter bolts up
bellhousing bolts up
I was able to re-use these parts and the distributor but that's about it.
Hope that helps.
