Big Block transplant into C4?
I've been considering getting a 84-85 Project C4 and taking the Big Block out of my Z and swapping it into the Vette.
Has anyone here done this?
Tips? Problems?
Do they make headers for this transplant?
Engine mounts?
(Emissions are not a concern.)
I've found several early C4's in the ball park of $4000 and I would just build it up into my dream car.
A friend of mine in Cali scored this pic from a car show which gave me the idea ;)
Thanks in advance!

I was lucking, Kim Baker had started building a BB C4 for someone and the guy changed his mind. Kim had custom headers, modified front crossmember, radiator, radiator cover, modified fuel pickup and the brackets of the front dress(I used March instead). Kim sold me the stuff pretty cheap, he was going out of business.
