Just ask Katfish He had a Bigblock in his. First I've heard of needing a different oil pan for the swap. Even for a sb. If that's the case Id just raise the motor to clear



I done a couple of these swaps. I move engine , trans back 2.5 inches and use stock truck pans. Solves a whole lot of problems and gets a bunch of weight off the nose. Just notice how far the engine sets away from the firewall on stock dakotas.



Sorry for the hi-jack, have you found an off-the-shelf header to fit with the engine now moved back? Did you use a motor plate or fab up your own mounts? Thanks in advance.
