some info on putting the 4.2 into a gm intermediate car. This engine was not really designed to fit in a vehicle with a front crossmember, well maybe into a early Nova. As you know pretty well a chevy engines have the oil pan sump at the rear. This engine requires a modified pan to put the sump in the rear. The oil pump is also at the front so you end up with a pickup line about 2' long. When making a new pickup line use the largest size tube you can. Do not use smaller tubing for any reason. This is all doable. The engine is within 1/2" of a 230, 250, 292 six but is quite a bit taller with the plastic box on top. Could be a hood clearance problem. Other than these minor things, it's just another engine swap. Ha!!!!!!!!!!
