Yes, they are the same.

I used Classic's seal and plate kit with good results.

Looks like this installed. (http://hometown.aol.com/zz430droptop67rs/images/img_0045.jpg)

Johan, do a search in this forum. I did a detailed swap response several months ago. Why go to a BB core? I have a SB core in the attic at home if interested, shoot me an e-mail.

I went with a big block heater core because on a small block car the heater hoses are behind the valve cover and when I adjusted the valves, I removed my valve covers and eventually broke one of the pipes. I went with big block heater core and now the hoses are out of the way. Pretty easy swap. All you need is the heater core and the plate and gasket.

Thanks alot.
It looks nicer and the main reason is that i am thinking about uppgrading too BB.I have always been a sucker for torque.
