Re: will fit a 500 in a '67 eldorado

Your 1967 THM425 trans won't bolt up to a 472; 2 of the bolts are positioned wrong. However you could drill 2 new holes in the trans, or get a '68 up trans, or rebuild your 67 switch pitch trans internals into a newer case.

If your 472 isn't from an Eldorado, you'll need Eldo oil pan, maybe oil pump,
and exhaust manifolds. The 472 is a new design, expect details different.

Accessories, you might need to use a 472/500 set, or at least brackets. Not sure about engine mounts, but they are similar.
