I used Sanderson C6 - Big Block Chevy Full Length Headers...they tuck up between the frame rails but if you use them you will need to move the oil filter. Just no way to remove it with the headers in.

So What kind of motor mounts did you use?

handsomerob · 02-24-2010, 11:38 PM

I used the stock 400 big block mounts, have new poly bushings comming for them of course.

**Captainfab** · 02-25-2010, 12:44 AM

So you're using the original style '72 BB mounts in the stock BB location?

So far thats whats goin on, stock mounts in the stock location, may need to modify a bit, depends on final clearances etc. waiting on the Tranny to arrive, and a whole lot of other parts. Big project short deadline.

hope the rearend doesn't end up on the ground the first time your foot gets heavy

handsomerob · 02-25-2010, 06:55 PM

Well here are a few more pics, some shots of the mounts, and clearance, and some test fitting of the headers (these are just for mock up).

tomtuna1978 · 02-25-2010, 07:14 PM

did you have any clearance issues with the surp belt set up and the valve covers ?

Don't have the Serpentine setup in yet, on order, and the valve cover is giving me issue on the booster side, the booster on this c20 is 10 1/2" wide and doesn't leave much room at all, I will probably replace it with a smaller diameter one.

PM sent.

handsomerob · 02-25-2010, 09:45 PM

Oh and for anyone wanting to use a 4L60-E, 4L65-E, 4L70-E, 4L80-E, or 4L85-E you can get one of these and have no issues.

http://www.crateenginedepot.com/stor...57-P722C0.aspx

of course though if you are using a carb setup you will require the TPS from Holley part #534-202

tomtuna1978 · 02-25-2010, 11:49 PM

sorry handsomerob... thought those pics fitz posted were yours

... how bout you fitz ? any clearance issues with the valve covers and surp belt kit ?(i ask because i just did the surp belt kit and am now lookin for the valve covers

... handsomerob i think you should just pull those valve covers and give em to me

.... no really .... swap to a hydrobooster for the brakes ! call the guys at tallonhydrolics.com ! thats who i used

they are way cheeper than all the other guys.

**Captainfab** · 02-26-2010, 02:52 AM

A couple of the parts that I make and sell may help you with the booster to valve cover issue.

Very nice project! I would love to put a massive 632 in my Suburban, but I've spent to much on the vette!
Are you doing any driveline upgrades/ chassis strengthening?

Other info for those that care...You can get standard deck big block capacities up to about 598ci (same size demension engine as your standard 396-454), then with the higher deck the skys the limit! well almost, You can easily get up to the 700+cube! Ive got a standard deck 540cuber in my Vett with 755BHP, You have to do some chassis strengthening and use a heavy duty drivetrain, otherwise expect constant breakage!

KFreddy · 03-01-2010, 10:10 AM

Curious who you purchased the super-matic and the controller from? Have you received them yet? I've got more questions and notes to compare with you about this tranny set up however I don't want to swamp you...

Tranny and controller ordered right from GM as well as the Engine.

srea76 · 03-01-2010, 04:07 PM

Shaky · 03-01-2010, 05:45 PM

No clearance issues IF you use the pancake A/C compressor. The more reliable Sanden compressors are too long and hit those really nice valve covers. So I'll just keep mine, too!

tomtuna1978 · 03-01-2010, 08:57 PM

those valve covers are sexy

... know where i can get some cheep ?

handsomerob · 03-03-2010, 07:57 PM

Well got the Breather in and the High Torque starter.
