i used the stock truck pan for now and the s&p mounts i had to space the engine up about a 1/2 inch and drill new holes for the frame mounts. also add 3/8 of an inch to the frame mounts so the engine would be leveled. if i had to do it again i would use the brp engine mounts and big block frame mounts, but all in all it came out good.

How is the motor located compared to a traditional Chevy? Also did you cut the trans tunnel? The reason I am asking is I would like to run a Victor intake converted to injection using a 4 bbl style TB with the aircleaner using the factory 70 cowl induction.

I have thought about the BRP mounts as they are local and I have a BBC in it currently.

Thanks

i didnt have to cut trans tunnel as far as the engine it sat about the same as a big block but the truck intake is way to tall for a stock hood and maybe a 2 inch cowl induction. i am using a 4 inch cowl induction hood.
