Re: Just A few plans for my 72' swb 4x4

By the way, all of the push rods were clear and could be seen through and the rocker holes were the same.... I'll diagnose this oiling problem further and post pics when I do the small block tear down. But for now its on with operation Big Block!!
I'm thinking of just moving the stock crossmember forward a couple of inches to the front set of holes on the driver side and drilling the rest new, but I also have every piece of the 85 member and engine mounts. Any info , advice, or pics from someone who has done this and been here would be greatly appreciated !! I've done some searching and I have some ideas but experience is the best tool... I did notice the frame tapers in a little as it comes toward the front ?? Also my 454 has a Milodan oil pan that I bought special when I had it in my 55' so I think that will help a TON on clearance too... I'll post pics of the BB soon.
