Big Block Chevy fitment questions

Stock location of the small block is the desired set.

Will be using a rack and pinion set up


Need headers

We removed the heater/blower box.


Any advice from the folks that went down this road?


Thank you

Re: Big Block Chevy fitment questions

Hi Robert,
It wil be tough getting the big block back that far due to the firewall clearance unless you use a BFH and "massage" the area real good. use the 68-71 or 72 big block mounts and your life will me much much easier as they drop in on the 6cyl frame mounting holes. go through my thread I am dropping a tall deck in my truck right now and hows clearances and all that Headers I used the heddman 68-87 big block headers and had no problems getting them to clear the frame. the rack n pinion I am not sure on that one as I converted my truck to a newer gear box.
