Big block in a 68

94snake · 03-15-2003, 04:48 PM

i have a 68 that came with a 302 and i was wondering could i fit a big block in it, and if so, what all would i have to do to get it in there. thanks

Some '68's came with a 428 Cobra Jet, so yes they will fit. Not sure about all of what you need, but finding motor mounts, headers (not original cast iron, but after market) shouldn't be too tough for an FE.

390's and 428's were an option, 427 was too, but I've never seen one...

429/460's will fit too.. a little tight, but thats what I'm doing..
swap kits are available for that too..

they have the headers etc that I'm going to use..

crites restoration has a conversion too, but I dont like the headers.. one tube crosses over to the other sides collector from each side..

if you mean for a 390-428, then you can just get the factory frame mounts and engine mounts
