Since you seem to be more interested in N20 setups, here's car we put together, it's a tall deck 572 with two dry foggers and a FAST setup...

My black car has a 561" short deck bbc and MadMan headers. It takes longer to gap/anti seize the plugs than to change them. 10 minutes max, all from the top.

a BBC will be easier to work on in a Fbody than a lsx motor....

lsx motors have the heads laid out more than regular chevy motors.... so to speak

you can see that the clearance between the shock towers is almost the same because a BBC head placement is more vertical than horizontal....

hope that made sense...

By the looks of the pictures above you will not be able to keep factory heat MAYBE whipers.

If you plan to run on stickies then your whipers not working in the rain will be the least of your problems hahaha.


I have a Holley Strip dominator and its not that high really, pretty much all single planes that I have seen are not short. Its good to 8k RPM if I remember right. Im told they have rough ports that need work/ported. Ill look at mine this winter.

Pick your intake to go with your application.

Heat is doable, but I've never seen it done because most people like me who do the swap just show it off and drag race. Wipers are easy to keep, I kept mine, but you can't go carb'd. Has to be fuel injected so you can run an elbow. Mine also fits under the stock WS6 hood after the support strut in the middle is cut out.
