Re: 6.0 Block..what need's to be changed?? I have just finished a 422 iron block. Only thing that was different is a hole need to be drilled and tapped for the outside alternator bolt. The middle one will no longer be used. Everything else matches right up. Make sure you sonic test the block before boring it out. It took me two tries to find the one I used.

Re: 6.0 Block..what need's to be changed?? if your going to use the A/C you might want to drill and tap a hole for the AC bracket (i just used the 3 holes instead the 4 )

Re: 6.0 Block..what need's to be changed?? They are correct. I looked all over and found that in the corvette application with no ac it was a direct replacement.(I use corvette brackets on the chevelle)
