So I'm going to use Schumacher try-Y headers on my 440. I have enough engine to probly make at least 550 HP with full length headers but as we all know, big headers in a big block A body are a problem. They cost alot, are difficult to install and they won't work with power steering. Fenderwell...

OK, here is how I fitted an A-518 into the car. After i got the 440/727 intstalled and levelled, I set up rigging to hold up the rear of the engine so I could remove the 727 and go ahead with the A-518. I loosely followed Gdonovans A-500 install thread. Its a big job because the OD trans will...

The Schumacher conversion mounts came with instructions to notch the L.H. enginr mount stand to clear the B/RB oil pump. The size and location of the notch varies depending on what brand/size oil pump being used. My solution was to put one big notch into it to clear all brands/sizes of oil...
