Is really much more difficult to install a 383 in an A body vs a SB ? I would like to have power steering

not a shoehorn....all kinds of room on a low-deck big block. This one has OEM K and manual steering, Schumacher conversion mounts, 833 / 4-speed, TTi exhaust.
the only mod was the #7 primary header tube need modified (cut and slightly moved) for clutch shaft clearance. Since this build about 10 years ago, maybe TTi changed that pipe because the mod would work with auto also.
Might be a little tight with power steering.

That’s a very clean install - I admire your work.
Other than the obvious (cool factor, power, torque) maybe you could outline some advantages to having a BB in an A body.
If ya got the green, then THIS is the car you want.A GEN 3 stroked to 426, if I was 20 years old again.
What are the intake and exhaust manifolds? Is the left side exhaust an M-Code manifold, a 383 or something else? Does the air cleaner have a drop base? I really like it.Heres a 440 with power steering. No problem!

Like you said there were some from the factoryWith the vast options available these days to make big HP/TQ numbers with small blocks, the only reason I can think of to shoehorn a BB in an A body would be that it came with one from the factory.
