So I just got a 455/TH400 and am reviewing all of many threads about making engine swaps. Lots of good info about swaps on this site. Here's a question that I haven't found an answer to yet... Will I be able to keep my A/C setup with the larger 455 in my '66 Lark engine bay? The LeSabre I'm pulling it from has A/C... and it looks like everything is crammed in there pretty good. Will I have to forego A/C in favor of raw power? I'm just about to replace my heater core and wondering if I should bother setting up all of the A/C parts as well. Thanks:TU:
I don't think there's a whole bunch of difference underhood between the 66 and 67, and the 67 came with a 400, same block as a 455 so I'd bet it will fit, maybe some differences in the A/C Evap enclosure but you could probably get those from a 67. Is your 66 a factory air car?
Cool, thanks for the tips. My 66 is a factory air car, however I'm missing some of the parts... so it's hard to get a gauge of the space available! Thanks very much!:TU:
i have a 67 gs400 with a/c and i can remove the valve cover after removing the blower motor. its a matter of 4 machine screws if i remember correctly.
