BB Chevy swap

[fatkaz10]

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and I'm wanting to put a bbc in my 79 Malibu wagon but I have some fitment concerns. It currently has a sbc and is pretty tight in a few places, mainly the brake booster which is the larger B body style, and the a/c box on the opposite side. So the million dollar question, will the big block fit in there without major disruption to both the a/c box and brake booster? Thanks for the help! Dave

Use short valve covers and swap to the smaller brake booster and it fits like a glove.

Tight on the a/c box with anything much taller than stock valve covers. This shows stock manifolds will fit, head pipes have some tight bends in them. Plenty of room on the brake booster. Going to need an oil pan for a car/chevelle to fit.
