460 BB in a B&B

Hey guys,
Has anyone put a 460 in a B&B? How is the clearances? I picked one up for too cheap, and am thinking of replacing this 5.0. It is fun, but you know the routine, gotta have more.
Thanks,
Darren

I think the foot boxes are different for the big blocks. I think Clois changed from a small block to a 428 in his B+B. Saw him at Road America this weekend. When he gets back maybe he'll reply. Jim

Darren, depending on what year the car was made, it may have a big block footbox in it. Don't remember exactly when we started the small block footboxes (around 5-6 years ago). You have to notch out the frame a little more for the starter and change the motor mounts. Let me know and I'll send pictures. Call the shop for any tech questions, we're happy to help.
