Default Big Block Swap
Hello, Can I use a long water pump when swapping a 454 into a 1972 corvette. If I cannot, where would i encounter the interference. I am not interested in originality, I want to be able to purchase cheaper A/C, alternator, power steering brackets. Thanks

Randy

Default Front cross member limited space
I think the front crossmember will cause the problem because even the short pullies are so close to the crossmember. That would also be true for the power steering.
