Engine Swap Question

Posted by Steve on Saturday, September 01, 2007 at 15:00:36 :

Does anyone know for certain if a Big Block Chevy will fit for a swap into a flat fender?

I know, I'm sure there will be lots of derogatory comments. BUT, I have to do a full rebuild on my flathead and happen to have a BBC with very few miles handy.

I want to use this truck as a daily driver and I figure the mileage will be about the same with either - hence, why not bump the power up a bit. Also, the cost of BBC parts is considerably less than for the flathead.

Thoughts?
