Hey guys i might be getting an old 71 chevelles 454 engine. I was wondering if you guys think if it would fit into my 85 elky?? Would there be enough room??? If there is enough room, would an a/c unit fit cuz i am in florida lol

It will fit and with AC, however it'll be a tight squeeze with the AC...you'll have to use the short valve covers.
