Engine swap

Engine swap
Had an old 60's-70's vintage SBC laying around that used to be in another project. Bored to 355, cam, fuelie heads, etc.... and was looking for something to do with it. Ended up buying an '84 with a blown up motor.
Anyone done this swap? I noticed lots of LS advice but not much on earlier engines.
Thanks in advance.,

The engine will drop right in place - The C4 used either a Gen1 or Gen II SBC.
As ex-e-fire mentioned - some of the C4 accessories might not bolt up - but if your heads have the right holes - not a problem.
Good luck with the swap.

You scan still run the Atari dash. You'll lose the fuel mileage and range features since you aren't running fuel injection any longer though.
