Big block duster pain in the A$$
I had my setup in and out about 10 times total before I got everything to fit - if you don't have the Schumacher motor mount shims get them..
I have 440 CPPA 2" under chassis headers that barely fit, had to pound a few of the tubes on the driver side and still need to pound a little more in front of the starter only bad plug to do is No.6 cyl. which it takes about 30 minutes to do on it's own, and probably won't be able to do it while the engine is hot haha
Mine has to go -
Trans first
Headers second
Starter third - with the wires connected
engine fourth
It all falls right in.. I also have the added bonus of a tubular K member though so I don't know the woes of the stock K if there are any.. few pics of my build - 71 Demon 71 383/727 2" headers
