Re: 572 update
So you're using the original style '72 BB mounts in the stock BB location?

Re: 572 update
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.

Re: 572 update
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).

Re: 572 update
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.

Re: 572 update
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 Last edited by handsomerob; 02-25-2010 at 10:50 PM. |

Re: 572 update
A couple of the parts that I make and sell may help you with the booster to valve cover issue.

Re: 572 update
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!

Re: 572 update
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...
