I had an idea to put in a big block, like a 427 or 454. Is it hard to get one in? I have a 69 1/2 ton, SWB, stepside with a th-350. I know I would need another trans, but I am more worried about getting the engine in there. Also what about a 4-spd. Could I even get the clutch linkage around the engine. I know some of you guys have big blocks, so I was wondering if you could give some tips. Thanks
