Default Re: installing big block in my nova

Don't forget along with the offset motor mounts you need the offset trans crossmember also. I've seen people use the small block stuff and make it work, but then your heater hoses are mashed against the valve cover, most headers won't work (even the manifold hits the box), and if you buy the big-block rad/fan shroud you can't use the proper diameter fan. Also, if it's a standard car, you have to mover the bell crank frame mount bottom bolt forward (bolt hole is already there)for the BB. Bill Rose just showed you how to cut the support, so you're set there. They re-pop everything, and for a shade under 600.00 for the parts (minus the radiator) it isn't worth cutting the corners.
