Caddy 79 Deville 425 doner for F/body

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o> </o>
I am currently building a 56 GMC PU with a grafted 77 Firebird Subframe. A complete 1979 425 Deville sedan has come up in my area & I was hopeing that I can use as a doner for engine, trans & diff?<o></o>
<o> </o>
Question is would it bolt straight in to the f/body subframe if I transfered the cad subframe mounts?<o></o>
My biggest concern is that all the searches I have done claim that the 79 Deville have a mid sump & <o></o>
would it interfere with the crossmember? I assumed that being a GM B/C body that it would have a rear sump like a Chevy??<o></o>

 

Best thing I can tell you is to mock it up. Try to set it down about where you want it and ponder it. I'm not to familiar with 70's F-bodies. Best I can do is bump it to the top for ya.

 

betcha money that rear is too wide. But a caddy 425/472/500 is not much bigger than a small chevy and the mounts out to fit one set of holes in your subframe. tricky part is exhaust.
