460 Stroker BBF/Pwrglde

I've seen a couple of these swaps on this forum, but has anyone done this lately? Looking for advice, pics, etc.... Building a strictly strip car.

There are a few old-school members that have an S197 with big cube Big Blocks in them. Hopefully they will discuss.

Do you have an S197 already or are you looking to buy one?

 

[JEdwards3]

Already have one..... But thanks

We used to have a member with a hell for serious BBF S197. psfracer I think. He had many threads. Cool car. Hasn't been around for over 2 years.

This one version of his car.

EDIT: Odd. All of his content seems to be gone.

There is a fb group for pushrod v-8 swapped s197s.

Several members there have done the 460 swap....

Here is a video I made showing it will clear the stock k-member and clear the hood with an Edelbrock Torker II intake and Moroso drop base 14 x 3 air cleaner assy.

The powerglide should be easy to fit the trans tunnel of a s197.

Here is a video of the big C-6 trans in the s197.
Tight fit
