For those of you who have changed your 6 to a small block what small cap distributor have you used and what brand of block hugger headers worked for you, BTW I am doing a 62 truck, Larry

Any type of block hugger will work; it will have a tite corner if you use the front mounting position for the engine, however. Long tube and shorty headers are a different story.

I've always used the large cap HEI's on the '63-'66's with no problems with clearance.

I am using a large cap H.E.I. as well. Its tight but it fits. I also am running block huggers with no clearance problems.

Thanks for the help, I'll try the large cap back before I give up, cheers, Larry
