| | | Looking for pics of big blocks in 70's vans | Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 26 newbie | OP newbie Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 26 | I am looking for pics of 70's chevy vans that have had big blocks put in them. I would like to see how tight the engine compartment is and how much room is left. Also anyone have any interior pics that show a aftermarket rachet shifter in a 70's van. I am getting ideas for my project 76 Chevy G20 shorty.

Has a swapped in big block. http://floridavancouncil.com/cover_van/joe_van/joe_van.htmAlso, 'Utopia' has a swapped in big block, but I can't locate a pic of it. I have an old Van magazine from the 70's that shows a big block being swapped into a 70's Chevy van. Was basically a bolt-in. As for a floor shifter, the only one I have seen on here is in Jonny O's Dodge van. Think it's a B&M unit mounted on the floor. Brad
