RE: help
There is a lot more involved than just the flywheel/clutch bell.
The flywheel won't fit, the clutch bell will but will expose some clutch shoe.
The things you have to do to put a big block in are...
swap your brake disc to the front of the car.
trim your top deck to clear the brake disc
get new linkage for the big block
a metal brake disc setup is highly recommended
a whole new exhaust system. (savage header)
new flywheel and heavy duty aluminum clutch shoes/springs.
new adjustable motor mounts
you need to cut the chassis to accommodate the big block mounts.
You also want to get heavy duty drive cups for the rear and stronger rear universals/dogbones.
You will be breaking those every 10 minutes or so.
