Junkyard 5.9 for my 72 Van

You will need an intake that will bolt onto the magnum heads, straight down vertical holes. Can use your distributor. Your exhaust manifolds should bolt up as well. Professional Products 55026 Professional Products CrossWind Intake Manifolds | Summit Racing

I neglected to mention I picked up a 7477 Edelbrock several years and plan on using that with the pulley for bypassing the air conditioning. Air conditioning that big old van would be great but when my brass radiator got stolen a few years ago they took the condenser with it. Maybe someday I can install an aftermarket setup?
I went to a pick n pull last week and got most of the front serpentine setup, brackets, bolts, tensioner pulley, pulley, Power steering pump and bracket. I know the A body swap needs the Van bracket for battery space but I am not sure if that is needed on a B100 engine compartment. ? I did not pick up the alternator or wiring harness for it, did not have the right tools for the harness and did not want a pick n pull alternator.

Any advice on installing a high Amp alternator? At the moment I am running an HEI distributor and I forget the details on voltage regulators and HEI.
