Ive done 2 of them & it's easy & rewarding. There is a kit available for the front engine mounts & the holes are already in the frame. You can use the ram horn manifolds that point straight down & have dual exhaust built at a muffler shop. The v-8 bell houseing fits the rear mounts. If you use a large harmonic balancer you have to trim a little of the front brackets. The large HEI dist winds up real close to the fire wall. I use the old point type dist with a conversion kit.
