  1. Hey guys, getting ready to commit to a an SBC swap. Which is the best sbc for the swap? I've had a few people tell me which ones they prefer but no solid answers.

    Honestly it all depends on what you can find and how much money you want to spend. I honestly built mine from parts out of the floor of my shop. helps when your dad has been workin on SBC from 50 years. I would recommend and older block with vortec head it will be a pretty nice street setup

  2. actually there not all considered world class. one of the main differences is the world class has more bearings and not bushings. and the world class (88-92) is actually a bit stronger. and the sincronizers are a bit better also. I am running a non- world class in my car but its only because I got one at a really really great deal.

  3. UPDATE: After further research; anyone interested in putting a Sanden 508 style AC compressor on the DRIVER's side; I ended up using Alan Grove P/N 137L bracket kit.

    This mounts the Sanden compressor low enough to clear the hood, and provides more than enough clearance for belt adjustment. This kit requires stock style GM heads that have the 3 bolt holes for accessories. The brackets bolt to one of the water pump holes and the three accessory holes on the head.

    As noted I'm using the old style V-belt pulleys and the alignment is spot on. Am sure this kit will work with an aftermarket belt kit too.

     

    If you are using older style SBC heads that have no holes, you can use P/N 119L, which uses the 1st and 3rd holes on the exhaust.

     

    Hope this info helps anyone that wants to update their AC compressor in lieu of the Frigidaire A6, and wants a bolt on kit vs. fabricating your own.

    I would just like to thank you for this information you have just made my sway alot easier sir!
