I'm thinking of ditching my small block and installing a 10:1 - 496cid. Is it a pain in the neck to wedge a big block in a 65 c-10? Anyone have experience?

I've got a 468 in a 63 4x4 and only had to dimple the firewall around the back corner of the valve cover area. Only took alitte massage work with a ball peen, no real mod work. Everything else fit nicely,

Excellent news! As for beating the firewall a little, been there and done that. Even cut a trap door to the cab so I can adjust the timing on my truck and install my plug wires behind the blower. Thanks to both of you for the info. Happy motoring.
