I have a 1977 3/4 ton 4x4 frame that had a small block 400 the PO removed prior to selling. I'll be putting in a 396 BBC. My question-can I use the original engine towers? Is there a difference between the BBC and the SBC? Thanks in advance for any help.

You posted this in the wrong forum, I'd repost in the right place or aska mod to move it for you.

BUt, I know the answer.

The frame towers are the same. All v8's mount in the "8" holes on the towers, the inline six engine went in the "6" holes.
