454 Swap Questions

I have a 1950 and am looking at doing the big block. I searched and searched couldn't find anyone who had done it with a stock firewall. Has anyone done a mustang ii with a big block and stock firewall? I hate to tear up my perfectly good firewall if I don't have to.

Thanks

Where do you find that type of firewall at? When I see it posted the forum blanks it out which doesn't help much

Look at Direct Sheet Metal website. They have some cool stuff for Chevy trucks including a 4" set back firewall.
