I have seen HEI's in c2's before, so I'm assuming they clear the firewall. Just don't know about the manifold.

I think that's gonna be a problem with that manifold. I recently sold a 3CBX and that rear runner could be an issue. I'm not 100% sure as I haven't tried it but I'm betting that combo is bad news...

Grab a HEI distributor and the manifold and plug it through the hole. If it seats you're good. A coil in cap HEI fits in a C2 with everything in stock position.

A 3BX manifold isn't close to stock; its a low rise, dual plane aluminum manifold - "try it before you buy it" is the only way to tell.
