460/C6 will fit...it will just fight you all the way.

    If I were going1 to do another swap I would seriously consider a Godzilla swap. These engines are really starting to catch on by the aftermarket.

  Did the Niagara come with Meteor hubcaps?

   Nice car btw.

Quote from: gasman826 on 2023-02-22 11:51If I were to do an engine swap again, I would not consider the 460/C6.  I like the 460/C6 but the FE fits better and is a bolt in.  The 460/C6 doesn't fit well.

What is an FE?    Wait a minute, there is a drop in replacement for the Y-block?   I am sure that "drop in" is not exactly a drop in, but but the big things seem like they might be; sump of the oil pan clearing crossmember and steering, length of engine, pitch of engine and tramsmission.   If I ever do it on my 57 I'd like to go with a differnt automatice, or better yet a Termick 5 sped.

FE's started in '58 with the 332 and 352, later the 390, then 427(?).   Others can add much more info......I went (now older) new school with mine, so I don't have the know-how others have.
