gouldie · 11-14-2006, 12:17 PM

how much work was involed in fitting the engine?

RustyParts · 11-14-2006, 12:42 PM

Currently installing 454 Chevy into a '72 Jimmy that I'm rebuilding. Had to move crossmembers forward 1" and cut the firewall for HEI distributor.

Next thing is warming up the 454 a bit.
