Question intallation of big block ???

Looking into puting a big block in a friends 1982 GMC. It's sitting on a 1972 GMC 4x4 frame. Is this possable, with out cutting up the fire wall ? Please note this body was 2wd to start with. Thanks Guys i'm on the other board, but figured you guys would know, if it can be done. Thanks again...

it can be done and is SUPER simple...you don't even need to chang motor mounts! A bigger radiator is a must and be sure to get as much off the 72 s possible (bracketry/pulleys).

BTW - I just did the same thing to my truck.
