BBC into '67 leMans
What does it take to drop a BBC into a '67 lemans? I have access to a turn key 396 out of a '68 Chevelle SS. I thought that I could drop the BBC into the car along with a TH400 tranny. So, what would it take? Chevy engine mounts/frame brackets? transmission cross member? Engine wiring? I want to figure out the small things that im not thinking of that will cost money. Thanks, nik

Still an A body car, right? Will the frame mounts from a chevelle bolt right into the frame?

For the life of me I wouldn't know why you would do this... but having pulled a couple chevy anchors out of goats I can answer your question. Yes. Go get all the parts off of a chevelle... and if it's a nice chevelle you might consider it as a home for the chev motor.

Frame mounts from a '66 or '67 Chevelle will bolt in. '68 and up mounts will not.

If the LeMans has the original transmission in it, the crossmember will need to be moved back 6-1/2 inches and the driveshaft shortened a bit for the TH400.
If it is originally a V-8 car, the starter and fuel pump will be on the opposite side. |

Thank you. It is only a thought. I have not even bought the car yet. Just thinking options. I thought that I could use a BBC to get the car running since I am on a tight budget. I would keep the pontiac engine and possibly build it correctly when I have the money. I'd like to do it if I can without permanently violating or modifying the car. Again, only a thought.

Please just buy a PONTIAC engine thats running to install in the car to move it around etc...,All that work to install a junk 396 isn't worth it.

Yeah, I have a built big block and was just entertaining all of my options. I have been a chevy guy for a while and was having a hard time wrapping my head around building anything but. My car has a strong 400c.i./th400 out of a 70-72 pontiac. I have been looking around at parts and will be building that engine up a little I think. probably intake, headers, carb, cam and maybe some head work.

Now your talkin! look at the Street performance section on this site. Remember a Pontiac is a different animal than a BBC, plenty of good advice on this site.
