Hi,
I am going to put in a BB 454 in my 67rs camaro which has the heater
core and heater box for a small block. I plan on ordering the BB core
and box and was wondering if I was going to be left with two holes on
the firewall where the small block heater core pipes were? I know the
BB flips the core 180 degree and placed the pipes out thru the box. I
dont want to be left with 2 holes in the firewall and Classic
industries couldnt tell me if the BB heater box would cover them or
not. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Can the SM setup still be
used if the pipes are tweaked out of the way? I know the motor mounts
have to be changed.

Thanks
Gary

Hi Gary
The box does not cover the holes there is a rubber seal that is placed
behind the firewall.

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the info. I just found that out by calling around after I
posted the question. I figured if Classic Industries didnt know then
it was Google to the rescue. I appreciate your help.

Thanks
Gary
