You'll need a distributor for what ever ignition system you decide to run also, Points or HEI in either Stock or AfterMarket form. As for the intake, you can run a stock SBC if you like to any aftermarket one you can buy for your application. Lots of local parts store carry after market stuff, you can get a stock one from the local boneyard if they have them or buy a stock or aftermarket one at a swapmeet..joe

and a fuel pump, electric or a manual will work if your block is machined for it...joe

The center bolt holes on the intake are straight up on those engines. You will have to get an intake designed for it. All the speed equip. co's have theme. Like Summit Or Jeds.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

You can elongate the hole on an older intake slightly and the bolts will work fine in the center. Put a couple of flat washers under the bolt head. Really not a bad swap at all. Get either an older HEI distributor or a points style distributor, elongate the center holes in the intake, make sure the carb is good. There was one engine I installed that had the block cut for the fuel pump, and the hole drilled for the pump push rod, but the cam didn't have the lobe on it for the fuel pump. Had to use an electric pump with it.
