installing this engine was the easiest/quickest I've ever done on any car.
15 minutes tops from the moment it was on the hook to when it was bolted to the motor and mid plates!
and the headers were too easy, custom built on the car and install one tube at a time.

Does it have the tubular K-Member?
A friend of mine is installing a BBC in a 4rth gen Camaro with stock steering still in place and
says there is no way to get it to fit without modifying the the stock K-member and installing a rack&pinion.

Nice but nothing like your Old Chevelle ED. It allways put on a good wheel standing show everytime.
