Caddy 500 in a Squarebody
I Recently bought a C30 Crew cab with no Engine or trans
I have a mid 70s 500 Caddy engine sitting for a another project
As Smallblock chevys and Big blocks are getting really expensive over here in Europe and want to use this caddy engine
I have made a rear sump oil pan and pickup tube
From research i found out that the stock Chevy engine mounting bracket can be used with caddy mounts if i flip them from side to side.
But i read that it might have some firewall clearence to do
Anyone have any pictures of this swap in progres?

Tonight mine pulled a few cars out of snowbanks, and is sitting in my driveway, icicles on the grille, wheels just white cakes of snow, buried up to the lug nuts in powder, straps and chains wrapped around the bumpers, the outline of the wipers clear in 4 inches of snow on the windshield... A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
