just mounted 454 into 63 with no problems,went straight on stock towers and doesnt hit firewall but limited to the low rocker covers and can still use factory clutch as well

Niiiiiiiiice! thats awesome, good job....hows the clearance for the exhaust manifolds or headers gonna be though?

its gonna take a bit of trial and error but there will be something that will work because there is a bit of room. but i think the mechanical clutch will be the main problem.will have a better look tomorrow and take some better pics up close if you want,cheers
