Re: The 86 Is Home
 
Ok I have a question I have to swap out the motor perches for a BBC or has some one used a soild upper mount and the 4.3 v6 perches? If i have to swap them do i have to look for 86 perches I was reading and some one said the 86 frame are different them say a 77 or so any help will be great.

Pic of the motor still need a rebuild

Re: The 86 Is Home
 
I could be wrong, but I thought the V6 and the SBC used the same mounts and locations,but you have to move the perches to the next set of holes for the BBC...like I said, I could be wrong.

NorthwestGrudgeRacer 08-01-2012 11:24 AM

Re: The 86 Is Home
 
thats what i was thinking the mounting holes are the same on the blocks v6, sbc,bbc just not a clam shell but i want to go solid for the build 496 with twin 76mm s400 turbos. Ill be out there playing with it between customers cars.
