Re: my 1966 gmc suburban build
A long water pump on a big block isn't going to leave much room for an electric fan on the radiator. Unless you are leaving the engine in the original location and cutting the firewall.

Going to use 2'' longer shakels on the rear and 21/2'' drop spindles in the front. Just have to see what that looks like

Re: my 1966 gmc suburban build
Yeah it does fit. What motor mounts did you use? Mine is a little farther forward and with a short pump has a little more clearance to my electric fans.

I used the sbc mounts installed them under the top edge of the frame and then added 2x2 box tubing 3/4'' hi to the top. I moved them back 11/2''
