Just wondering if anyone has done a big block swap such as 454 or 502??? What I'm wanting to know is how much space was there for the motor in there?

Thanks for the time

I don't remember the page, but do a search on this board. One of the guys has a link to his page that is pretty detailed. IIRC, the biggest issue is exhaust clearance.

Do a simple search through the archive. There are lots of messages about BBC swaps.

hey quick I notice you're an engineer. What kind? I'm studying to be a Manufacturing systems engineer. I might change it to mechanical. Think a Northstar could fit in a 3rdgen? I noticed on that 4thgen they put in in from below. Could it go in from on top?
