biggest small block,is that what you are trying to do.i got a 454 in my 78.it takes up all the engine compartment.very few mods. to make it fit.had to change front springs and sway-bar and moto mounts,everything else pretty much fit

a 6.6 is only a 400 sbc. i believe that the formulas had 455's in them. it would fit. just prepare to modd your engine compartment.

have fun with that one though
