Has anyone put a talldeck marine motor in a 69 camaro. I have a chance to make a good purchase on one and was wondering if there are any fitment problems. Like cowl hood etc. Also anyone make headers for this application? Thanks, Wayne

Tall deck marine is just a tall truck block with brass freeze plugs and other anticorrosion tweaks for using salt water as a coolant. It will have all of the fitment problems of a tall deck block that have been discussed in numerous articles.

Yes, it will fit with the correct parts and a little work.
Here is just one of the past threads that Dave was refering to - http://www.camaros.net/forums/showthread.php?t=82257&highlight=Tall+Deck+hood+clearance
If you search for something like 'tall deck hood clearance' or others key works, you will find lots of threads with info.

Hope this helps;
