Interesting. Ive got a 396 in my Blazer, and I moved the crossmembers forward an inch.

There's no way, I could put an HEI in my truck. I have to remove the rotor, to get the distributor outta the motor....

short Moroso valvecovers nearly hit the firewall.

used the small block mounts, had to trim the small block fan shroud. Moved the clutch bellcrank to line up with pivot ball hole in BBC.

used Hedman engine swap headers, fit pretty well, after a couple of dents, and a small (1/4 inch deep) notch in the framerail.
