Hi kevin, well here lies the prob . If your eng is multi port injection the heads on the carb eng don, t have access holes for the injectors. The oil pan has the pick up in the wrong place. So will not clear crossmember. These probs alone are very expensive and complicated. And then you will find none of your accessories are in the right place. Too many probs find yourself a mfi eng or put a small block in it you will be more satisfied and less frustrated good luck billymac
