Re: Help needed: swapping out 292 for a V-8 in a 4x4

So,you want a BBC in your 4x4?Well,some problems people run in to is clearance with the firewall that most people handle with different valve covers,body lifts,or moving all the crossmembers dealing with motor/tranny/t case forward.The 6 cylinders had different motor crossmembers than the sbc V8s.There was no stock BBC in a 4wd in 67-72.The 292s had the crossmember at an angle.All the holes are in the frame for when you convert to the V8 style.No drilling required.I did this with my 71.It had a 292 and now has a mild 350.Just changed the crossmember and bolted it in the right spot.
