It is not a big deal at all. I just dropped my 427 into my 88 IROC yesterday.

I did remove the ac heater box.

The car still has power brakes. I am running large cast aluminum valve covers. The wiper motor needs to be modified to clear them, but thats it.

Headers, you can get hooker super comps (what I have) or Ed Quays.

I am running a B&B drag pan, and it fits with no mods. Stock crossmember and all.

I am running a Victor 454 O intake with a 1050 dominator. It clears my small cowl hood well.

I can show you some pics if you want.

Oh, I used the stock motor mounts, and they fit great!

I am using a small cap dist. and I was almost able to get it in without even taking the cap off.

This motor fits a lot easyier than the 427 in our 1955 Belair.

i think after looking at the pics you had that my heads might hit the firewall, they seem to hang over block a little they are brodix big brody heads and there huge. the motor is a 454 with brodix intake and brodix valae covers, my fire wall is pretty much shaved . really concerned about the heads though thx

There is plenty of room between the firewall and my heads.
