Question

Can i put a big bock 454 in a 1976 corvette, it currently has a 305

Answer 1

Yeah it will fit, but it's a very tight fit. Good luck.

Answer 2

If it fits drop it in and hold on tight! Have fun man that's a good engine!

Answer 3

Yes.  They put big blocks in C3 Corvette's from '68-'74, so all that you will need to do is order factory big block parts for a '68-'74.  It should be a fairly easy swap as all the parts needed are available in reproduction.

Answer 4

Yeah it will fit, but it's a very tight fit.

mostly is gonna depend on your skills / ability to adapt stuff

larger radiator ! r/r trans also ! many /many things can/will need to be tweaked to make her fit but yes it can be done!

Answer 5

1974 Corvettes came with a big block.1975,76 etc...have the same sized engine bay.

Answer 6

It's been done before so all the info is out there.Corvette guys LOVE their cars so sombody who ownes one can't wait to tell you how to do it. Good luck!
