Chevrolet Engine Swap Parts - Rat-ify Your Chevrolet

Installing a big-block properly requires the correct frame brackets. The two in this photo are from a ’66 Chevelle SS 396. These brackets mounted the big-block engine slightly lower than its small-block counterparts. Although small-block mounts will work, they will not position the engine properly. These big-block brackets are simply bolted to the frame and attach to the motor mounts. Although an original set may be hard to find, reproduction pieces are available from Classic Industries, Original Parts Group, and Year One. Remember too that big-blocks weigh more than small-blocks. Think about upgrading the front coil springs and sway bar to handle the extra weight. View Related Article
