There was a great sticky on here a few weeks ago but I don't see it now. In that sticky that guy had sum great info that helped me alot on my recent swap......in which I am FREEKING LOVIN me sum big block in my 3rd gen btw.......But I'm tryin to make it street legal and in Texas you have to have windshield wipers to get an inspection. during the swap I had to remove the wiper motor assembly and in that deleted sticky he had a solution to this problem by using another wiper motor but I cant remember which one. Can someone help me if they know what wiper motor to use please??????

Re: BBC swap?????

you can always rig up a manual wiper system. the law just says you have to have a windshield wiper in the driver side, not that it has to be driven with a motor....
