Which BB towers to use? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Which Big Block towers should I use the 68 to 72 org. or 73 up . The 73 up seem to me to be a better design but will the 68 to 72 hold up fine.(about a 500 horse 454 with about 550 torque)

They changed the design in 72. I have a set of those for sale. They are similar to 73-up but the difference in frame height on 73-up trucks makes them incorrect for a 67-72 frame.

My 2 cents anyway.
