? for small block to big block swap
I pulled the 283 out of the "72, and installed a 454. It is in and bolted up using the small block mounts. Everything fits fine...except the headers. The right header clears everything fine, the left header is hitting the engine perch...BAD. I am not against denting the tube a little to introduce some clearance, but I would have to cut the front tube in half to get around this one. I have a '71 Suburban with the correct big block perches, but I don't want floor clearance issues with the TH400 trans, and also need the hood clearance for the blower. Anyone have any ideas or solutions for this dilemma?
Thanks! Bob
