Big block swap question??????
Still don't know which way I will go, big or small block. Question, will a big block fit with the long pump and accessories since I'm running elect fan? Will the pulleys clear the crossmember?

Nope, the long pulleys won't clear the crossmember. One of the guys here on the forum "clearanced" it to fit with a hammer, but I wouldn't recommend that procedure.
Chad, did the guy that stole your engine get that nice '68 intake that I sold you last year? That would suck! :mad
You've got a beautiful car. It deserves a big block :lol:

I swapped a complete LS6 from a chevelle complete with long water pump, alternator and power steering bracket into my 75 without any problems. I did reverse the stock rad. By this I mean they unsoldered the tanks and turned the core around for extra clearance. I ran electric fans for years with this combination.

Yes, but I may get that back at least. But then look who is telling me he will send it. The guy should be in jail!!!!! He took at least 6 or 7 others too. Now filed bankruptcy.
