Depending on intake choice you might have hood clearence issues. Spot_remover 03-21-2010, 07:35:23 PM mine bolted right up. but i will have to cut the hood. nikwho 03-21-2010, 07:35:37 PM thank you! This particular application is for a '79 camaro clip grafted to a '58 pickup frame, so hood clearance won't be an issue for this one. I was worried about how the block would sit down into the frame. I figured that it would drop right in. Thank you for your help deputbig 03-21-2010, 10:13:25 PM Fits like a glove HOLESHOT 03-21-2010, 10:16:57 PM heck i even have solid sbc mounts and it fits;) 496z28 03-21-2010, 10:28:24 PM nope, wont happen..
