Big blocking my small block 69, what problems?
have a 69 non numbers small block with a stuffed engine (350). Thinking of putting in a big block what sort of probs will i encounter,
clutch?
diff?
power steer mounts?
alternator mounts?
front springs?
Already secured a big block hood, exhaust will be ok, have headers to suit.
and what sort of manifold can i use under a stock b/b hood?
Cheers Geoff.

Geoff, you are going to need new brackets and pulleys, possible radiator upgrade, and BB springs (though some guys here are using stock SB springs). As far as intakes, you are very limited to the stock BB hood. I do know for certain that the LS6 and Edlebrock Torker II will fit under the stock hood without problems.
