Re: HEI with and without separate CDI box?

They fall right in with a lot of clearance from the firewall. Unless you have the motor mounts in the wrong spot during an engine swap.

If you're not racing, or have a high HP engine. Then a stock HEI without any boxes or fancy stuff will be just fine. Just make sure you have a dedicated 12v wire going to the distributor.

I have an MSD Pro Billet HEI... which has all the CD stuff in the module and also has a rev limiter too. All under the cap.
