Re: BB heater box
 

Like Brian said there is about a 1/4 difference in the heater core area, vrs A small block. I believe he has a picture posted somewhere showing the difference.

Re: BB heater box
 

The 1/4" diff is correct. I believe the current BB heater cores are 1/4" smaller to fit into the SB boxes??? Yes / No??

I just removed the heater core from Benjamin's car to check the date code - it's original, still had some nice green anti-freeze in it!

There is a picture of this difference on this site under the super car workshop section - i saw it several weeks ago trolling for other info....if i can find it again ill post it.

I had some old part numbers for BB heater cores and there were some differences in numbers and measurements between Camaro and Nova. I think the 67-68 camaro and 68 Nova used the same one and the 69 camaro and 69-70 Nova shared the other. I believe one is just a little bigger than the other.

What about the inside box for an AC car? Are s/b and b/b different? I used a b/b suitcase with a s/b inside box as I thought they were the same. I bought what I thought was a b/b heater core, and I know everything fit.

The CRG also has a very informative topic on BB vs. SB heater boxes and components.
