i just purchaced a 67 camaro with a 327 2bbl , powerglide , 10 bolt rear .
i want to covert the car to a bbc with a 4spd and a 12 bolt .
besides the obvious , motor mounts , rear diff etc. , what is required for this swap ?
i'm not concerned with numbers matching correct year parts . i am concerned with making the car driveable .
any help would be appreciated .
thank you

you`ll need to convert the heater box to a big block heater box, this is easily done, all you need to do is buy a new BB heater core and cut holes in the heater box. Possibly new springs too.

Cooling parts. Radiator, fan and shroud. Frame mounts and watch distributor clearance.

Don't forget the transmission crossmember, big block Z-bar, big block shifter, driveshaft.

I did the same thing with my 69. I needed to buy multi-leaf springs to replace the single that came on my 10 bolt.
