Hi:
Can this engine be dropped in to a 67 C20 without major modification such as swapping the intake and accessory drive components? How about the oil pan? I know the wiring and fuel pump has be modified.
And while we are at it, is there a manual transmission which can go with it or I would be better off with an auto behind it as far as the modification to the cab's floor? It would be just a daily driver.
I have a LM7 with all the accessories and wiring that I wanted to drop in my 79 Camaro but it seems I have to sped twice as much I paid for the engine to swap the intake, accessory bracket and etc. It might make a better financial sense to just get a car LS engine for Camaro.

Thanks
