I have the oportunity to pick up a 472 cheap, anyone know the easiest way to get one connected to a manual tranny?

With an adapter :p

You got to drill the crank for a pilot bushing and then get a b.o.p-to-Chevy bellhousing adapter.

Not sure on the flywheel....but that Maximum Torque place would be a good place to start

I used the CMD kit to hook up a 500 to my SM465. Had to notch the bellhousing to get the starter to fit. Pull the crank, take it to a machine shop and have them insert the pilot bushing. I believe the bushing is 3/4" long and needs to inset about 9/16" into the crank. The drivebility was great and even got 15 mpg.

The Caddy engines have always been known for mileage, despite their large displacement.
