The pre 72 big block stands like these http://www.manestruckparts.com/store...Category_ID=16 work fine with the small block motor mounts like these, http://www.manestruckparts.com/store...Category_ID=16 Just use grade-8 washers and 7/16-14 bolts. The stands will bolt into existing factory holes in the frame and crossmember moving the big block about 3" inches forward from where the small block was located. To my surprise, my 396 with the long water pump lined right up with the small block shroud. I did have to trim the edge of the shroud to clear the alternator pulley. After much trial and error, and expense, I used a Billet Specialties alternator mount and power steering pump mount. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bs...07pc/overview/ & http://www.summitracing.com/parts/bs...30pc/overview/ I dont know what transmission your using but in my case, I used a 350 Turbo-Hydramatic and again to my surprise, it bolted right in to the transmission crossmember in the existing location and I was able to use the same drive shaft as well...Using the mid-mount location for the right side alternator should leave plenty of room for an AC compressor to be mounted above it. Dont know about the Chevelle manifolds but I would certainly give them a try before buying headers or other manifolds. ~Ghostrider~
