I have a 77 gmc k25 sierra grande with a 350. I wanted to know if i swap it for a big block, will it hit the ac housing and the brake booster? Or will i be able to just swap it with no clearance issues? I really want the lowend grunt of a big block but dont wanna mess with the booster and a/c delete. If its an issue ill just go with a 383 stroker or something like that. But really want a big block lol

I know that it will not hit the A/C housing. As for the brake booster Im not sure. I have hydro boost. I do believe there are 2 different sized boosters though. So you may be able to get a smaller booster if necessary. Not sure about that though!

It goes right in and you can even use the small block engine mounts.
