As for headers I had flowtech longtubes (68-87 truck) on there for awhile and they fit with no issues. I took them off and now have Patriot 3/4 Chevelle headers on there.

If possible get all the brackets, pulleys, etc. with the big block as they are all different than the small block.

Also, you'll want to use a 4-row radiator.
Did you go with a Turbo 400? Was there any issues with that? Right now I have a T350 in there with the small block
