wow and thank you for all the info, I do understand that alot of mock up and fab is going to be necessary but essentally I just wanted to know how much major body panel movement is necessary. And after asking I felt a bit stupid about the floor pan question. and I guess I haven't checked into vintage air that much, didn't realize they did heating as well. and again no offense was taken, appreciate all info and input anyone has on this. :thumbsup: wanting to get all ducks in a row so to speak before attacking the car. funding is holding me back from purchasing the 572 yet. but i have access to a 454 in my shop for mock up, will it essentially get me the right deminsions for this? I know size is mostly in displacement but (dumb question time) a 572 isn't much physically bigger than a 454 is it? BBC is BBC right?

Protouring66, thanks for the kind words on the chevelle it's always great to hear , as far as yours goes Greg was right in that it reguires multiple mockups and trial and error but I would be happy to answer as many questions as I can as both builds are same body dimensions and same motor size so if you want you can give me a call if you want to discuss it further

Thanks, Josh

Thank you for the advice and you will most deffinately be getting a call from me. And again I can't offer enough praise for the amazing job on that 67. I have stared holes in my screen looking at that car. It is perfection. :yes: 1 more quick question tho, the fender well/inner fenders what did you do there? It looks finished right, an understated feature but looks great, i have no inners currently my car came with none as I saved it from someone turning it into a dirt track car. I want a look that is close to that clean under the hood. this is my favorite https://lateral-g.net/forums/atta...2&d=1255459874

Something I overlooked also when I ordered some custom brackets. Keep it in mind again that the head sitting higher could effect a bracket that connects to another point on the motor. Mine was based off the water pump and the support bolt to the cylinder head ended up too low. :cheers:
