Nice ad, very professional. Good luck, the price is right.

What pan are you using for this swap, the 425 mid sump?

I'm very suprised you don't need the rear sump for this swap.

Well, I'm setting up the 472 in my 79 Olds Delta 88 Coupe just like it's a '77-79 Cadillac.
I'm actually using the (mid sump, same as 425) oil pan, motor mounts, and TH400 out of a '81 368 Cad coupe.
Everything in the 77-90 GM B-Bodies is interchangeable. The full size Cads have a different corporate letter designation but all of the suspension/frame pieces are interchangeable. All the stampings are the same. The front frame crossmember is identical across the board. Suspension parts like the a-arms are 100% interchangeable, just watch ball joint sizes and tie rod ends, everything else is a direct bolt in.
My front brakes/spindles are actually HUGE commercial Cad ('79 hearse) 12"x 1.25" (thick) vented brakes. Everything is identical except you need commercial cad lower ball joints and tie rod ends (these are expensive!)
