    I'm sure Iv'e seen pics of early custom Chevies with Cad engines, I know Iv'e seen Olds engines in em....Anyone got pics or Input? I'm sure the firewall reinforcements need to be trimmed but what about steering box clearance? Thanks in advance Lumpy:D

    You may be in luck and not have any steering problems as the starter is on the right side, depending on which manifold you use.
