On the pass side there are two holes that line up but you have to drill all the other holes to make it work.

If you just want to get a BBC in there then use your SBC mounts, you may need to adjust your firewall for valve cover clerance and get a bigger 4core radiator.
Thanks for the pics, I checked out that ord site. They have some great product for us. Did you have to use custom headers or did you squeeze a set of pre made tubes in? It looks like you have a sweet project going yourself, hope mine turns out half as good.
