Wanted to ask the group if anyone has swapped in a Chevy big block into their AD truck? I have a 53' GMC and plan to install a CE bolt-in crossmember. I am thinking about installing a big block Chev, and was wondering if there were any challenges with steering shaft to the rack and pinion. Also, I think Sanderson headers might work without frame rail clearance, but not sure. I plan to use offset mounts to bring the motor forward for firewall clearance. Lastly, as I have a GMC, I have a few extra inches up front to work with regarding radiator clearance vs. a Chev.

Just looking for some experience or thoughts on this, with any pictures of a previous build if anyone has any. This might be a good topic for several others thinking of doing the same.

Thanks for any info/advice!
