Big Block install

kdog · 04-04-2002, 04:58 PM

I am planning on putting a 460 into my 83GT brackets-only car. Anybody have any advice, or preferably experience, on headers and oil pan selection?

Thanks for the response. I have seen the kits advertised, but I was hoping to get some first-hand experience with fit and quality. Also, I have seen some swaps that put the engine too high and too far forward. Anybody?
