I put a 454 mk 4 into my chevy c20. My issue is i need everything that goes on the front of the engine. Power steering, alternator, all the brackets, water pump, exc. I also don't know if i should use a short or a long water pump. i do plan to use an electric cooling fan. i would like to find a diagram or something to use as reference but i cannot find any. I don't know what brackets i'm supposed to use since the block is out of a 90

I'M GOOD AT LOOKING UP STUFF

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT CHANGES IN THE ENGINE OVER THE YEARS, THIS MIGHT BE REVEALED AS YOU LOOK AT THE PARTS AND THE YEARS THEY MIGHT FIT

HERE'S ONE HIT I GOT FOR BRACKETS

http://www.summitracing.com/search/section/accessory-brackets-eliminators/make/chevrolet/engine-size/7-4l-454

I ALSO LIKE SEARCHING "IMAGES", AS YOU MIGHT QUICKLY ELIMINATE STUFF YOU KNOW WON'T WORK, BEFORE YOU CLICK INTO A MILLION SITES USING "WEB" AND WASTING TIME. THIS ALSO MIGHT GIVE YOU IDEAS YOU HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT.

HERE'S "IMAGES" FOR MY SEARCH '454 Chevrolet engine brackets'

https://www.google.com/search?q=454+Chevrolet+engine+brackets&rlz=1C1CHKZ_enUS436US436&espv=2&biw=1360&bih=677&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=SKZSVdLUPNHkgwSK0oDoBw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg

THE COOL THING SEEING THE IMAGES IS YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE THINGS GO OR CAN GO. YOU CAN SAVE THEM TO "MY PICTURES" AND BLOW 'EM UP SO YOU CAN SEE BRACKETS/ ETC. BETTER, IF THE WEB PIC IS NOT VERY BIG

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU SOMEHOW

THE MEDIC
