Go with the Holley system. Mounts, accessory drive, headers, cross member all designed to work together. You can use sb heater core and cover

The SBC Heater core will be tight

You can buy a conversion kit to use a SBC cover with a BBC core

 

Tight with Holley mounts?

Def go with the Holley set up. One word of caution though, I don’t think the Tko shifter will be in the same position as stock 4 speed location.

 

Does Holley have a TKO 5 Speed crossmember? I thought they only supported the Tremec six speed.

I just installed an LS3 and Tremec 6 speed. I used Holley motor mounts, Holley Blackheart long tube headers, and the Holley Crossmember. I have a new PS gear box from Detroit speed. I did convert to Vintage Air with their front runner kit. Everything fit great and install was very easy. One thing to be aware of, that Holley does address, is that if you have a stock subframe, the headers are different than if you use a DS subframe. I installed a DS quadralink, so I have to make some modifications to their header back system to make it work. Minor, but not out of the box fit.

 

The Holley system has worked well for a few of you here. Has anyone used the entire system with a factory console? If yes with which trans was used?

 

I have an older thread that listed the parts I used with my 69. The Holley system is much newer now but a lot of the other parts will still be needed.

I've posted these on another thread, but here's my ride with a GTO T56 (modded to move the shifter closer to the dash like an OEM F-body T56).

I had a factory console added. It's further back about 3-4" to the rear of the car than the original console/shifter location. Actually looks normal and frankly easier to reach when shifting to 3rd and 5th than the OEM location. Last picture shows where the shifter is relative to the steering wheel from the side.

Thank you for posting this! That is exactly the direction I am headed right down to the TMI seats. Beautiful car!
