    '67 riveria 430 into '68 skylark w/straight 6 250

    I was just wondering if anyone has installed a 430 into a '68 skylark that came stock w/straight 6 250? The 430 from the '67 riveria has a mid sump oil pan. Do I need to change the oil pan and pickup tube. Any other fun problems I can expect to run into? Thank you for any info.

    you'll need the big block fan shroud.



    Do I need to change the oil pan and pickup tube.


    i believe you'll need to swap to a rear sump pan and pickup. on the plus side, this is a perfect excuse to upgrade to the larger 5/8" ID pickup.

    obviously, you'll need new frame pads and engine mounts.
