It's height is approx. the same so the fit is good. It uses the same bellhousing design as SBC V8's so all the trannys work well with it. The bad news is the motor mounts are in the middle of the block so mounts must be fabricated. If you get one from a large truck it may have the 90 degree oil filter on it and that might cause some problems as it sticks down pretty low. Nothing that a remote mount filter wouldn't cure however. I don't think your current transmission will bolt up to this engine. They are pretty powerful engines as stock and can be made to produce a great deal of power/torque with a few goodies. The lighter weight and siamesed head design make it a worthwhile swap. | | |
