Re: 67-72 BigBlock 4x4s! Pos pics info here.
This is a shot of a truck I had back in '95 that I put a 454 in. Its a '72 swb 4x4 that was loaded. I put the 454 in without any firewall, frame, or other mods. I pulled this engine out and put in an orginal 402 about one year later. While the engine was out, I noticed the lip on the valve covers rubbed the firewall on each side during engine movement so before installing the 402, I took a hammer and just tapped the firewall on each side. Only just enough to provide room for the engine to move without touching. I may have been able to tweek the valve covers but I didn't try.
