Re: will 92 go into 79?

My 79 has a tbi block and a q jet with a stock cast iron manifold.
My block had provisions for a mechanical fuel pump, so that was easy.
I used the accessories off the original 79 block (v belt)
Had to use a die grinder to oval out the middle intake holes till they fit properly. (I have done this to 3 engines with no leaks or problems)
Bought a new flywheel to fit the tbi block.
Ordered a heavy duty 12 inch clutch for a '79 chevy
Had to trim the dust shield for the clutch with some tin snips
New gear reduction starter
Dropped in a new hei distributor.

Not a 100% dirrect swap, but totally do-able
