Re: big block?

I've got one, you just need to upgrade your gas card. Cant beat that big block sound.

Re: big block?

I have a couple of big block trucks. The motor mount stands are different on big block trucks. Not sure how different they are and if you have to use them or of small block motor mount stands will work.

As another member said... you'll be amazed at how much it does NOT drop the nose.

As far as the harness... the starter is in the same location, as is the temp guage sender, distributor, and the alt if you have the right pullies and brackets.

Re: big block?

Pretty much. You might wind up needing a better radiator but I know plenty of people using a stock small block radiator with no issues.
