Re: big block cadillac(472/500) motors in '64-'66 trucks?

It's an easy fit compared to the 67-72 trucks. No firewall work or trimming of anything if you use the Eldo pan & RWD exhaust manifolds, but the engine may have to sit forward a bit to avoid firewall work. The old vertical flow radiators don't have much surface area, so a 4 row or aluminum (better yet) will be needed. Are you wanting to do this on a 2 or 4wd? 4wd is a little trickier.
