It,s a bolt in swap & the power steering will fit on your model. I like to use the larger damper. You can use the parts off your engine or get them at swap meets or salvage yards. If you are in or near a large city, some of the big Chev. dealers carry them. There is no set price so you can shop around although Jeg,s sounds like a good deal with free shipping.

That model has plenty of clearance for a HEI or you can get a elect. ign changeover. If you want to keep it original you can use your parts & paint it Chev. orange. As mentioned before I like the large damper. It comes with 2 timeing tabs for either size.

Check prices at a couple dealers, when my buddy bought one for his Silverado, he found $150 difference between two Chevy dealers about 7 miles away from each other. Brian | | |
