I guess it should fit OK as the small block was a factory option? How different are the engine & gearbox mounts, and any problems with the oil pan, hooking up exhausts, propshaft, shifter etc. Is the radiator up to the job?
Thanks for the advice, Simon | | |

The V-8 bolts right up to the same bell housing. (63 up). You will need an after market crossmember or fab. your own. You will have to have total new exhaust made up. The radiator can handle it if it is in good cond. The oil pan clears O.K.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |

Anyone any more hints & advice please? | | |
