C3 big-block swap
Over the last ~3 1/2 years I've collected quite a bit of information on swapping a big-block into a C3. I've built a section on my website to share that information: http://www.diabolicalperformance.com/c3bigblock.html
Let me know if you find any errors, and "enjoy". :cheers:

Great Job. Bookmarked it because I may need it sometime soon for my next project.
I know it takes time to document things (check out my 34 Ford site!). So congrats and thanks! :cheers:

You're welcome. This is one of the reasons that owning a Corvette is so great - the community of fellow Corvette enthusiasts is unlike any other.

Looks a lot like the kit that used to be available from the website. (I bought one almost a year ago :D ). Thanks for sharing w/ the vette community.

Very nice job, and comprehensive. The C-3 remains the only series Corvette where the Big Block is a virtual bolt-in for the entire run (1968-82).
:yesnod: :chevy :chevy :yesnod:
People should take more advantage of this--- the late model C-3's are a bargain, and make a real nasty street beast with a Big Block conversion.
Again, thanks for posting the info....it's asked for all the time on the forum.
