I stuffed the big block into my 72 stepside. A little pounding on the firewall, few custom mounts and she was in. I am absolutely in love with the overall performance of the engine and wouldn't swap for anything. I snagged it for $450 from a 1965 C-80. The beast has a reasonable 46,00 miles on it and purred since the day I got her. Had any troubles at all with yours?
The 72's going through its resto right now. I wanted the big block grunt and luckily found the 409 to fill that need. This is only my third project but seems to be going along very well. I'll try and post some pictures of the rig and its engine as soon as I can. She's not done but it'll give you and other guys an idea of where I'm at. Plus, I just wanna show it off a little (hey I'm only 16, I'm allowed to do that stuff).
It's a 1965, came stock with a Rochester four barrel and 340 horses.
