OP
you will need different engine stands and engine mounts for BB. The BB is 1" further over to PS and raised some on DS to clear steering box. BB X member also. BB heater core and firewall suitcase. 23" radiator and BB shroud. All brackets for BB accessories and pulleys. If you want the front lowered than SB springs would do that. For stock stance then BB springs. If new springs and you want it lowered, get the Ridetech "progressive" BB lowering front springs All this is doable and parts are available. |

Thank you
Looks like you have a Winters manifold and rectangular port heads? Thanks for the photo I had an Edelbrock twisted torker like this one on my car with rectangular port heads and the L88 solid lifter cam. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/camarof...2e9006fdf3.jpg |

I finished my 68 convertible in 2018. It was a SB auto trans car and now has a 427 with a World Class 5 speed. The front motor mount saddles are specific to BB and are different in height and are not symmetrical. I made the rear mount due to the angled transmission base. All BB Camaro heater hose lines pass through the outer area of the passenger side fire wall. Small blocks come through the fire wall near the transmission dog house curve. I used QA1 front coil overs with stock control arms and they are ok. The rear has Hotchkis 1.5 inch drop leafs.
I installed Vintage Air so the heater cover was not an issue. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/camarof...7cd848d3bc.jpg |
Thank you
Very nice example Love the sidepipes and the 427 badges It was mentioned before but where did you get your saddles? Thanks |

I have noticed brackets will be a problem Finding a HVAC case cover for the heater core might be a problem too Do you suppose say 1975 truck brackets would not work? I have a little dough to throw at this but want to be reasonable I did notice 2 places to put the Z bar pivot on the block side of my 350 One was in the block that I am using and one is in the bellhousing that I am not using I will plan on needing a new Z bar Thanks Might want to check out some hydraulic clutch's or just hydraulic actuators.. May end up same cost and free up some room in an area with very limited space. IMO the Z-bar is a weak link in the Clutch system. You use a heavy clutch and break off a stud in the engine you will be pulling a motor and cussing GM the whole time, At lease that is what I did. |
Thank you
