    Question firewall for a 55

    Hi Guys, question, does any one make a firewall installation panel for the installation of a big block Chevy in a 55 or are we pretty much on our own for the modification? I am using an Earl Williams motor mount kit but leaving the motor in the stock location, also who makes a nice transmission crossmember that easily installed?Thanks Mike

    Earle Williams has a couple of products you might be interested in looking at.

    One is essentially a cover skin for cleaning up the firewall.

    The other is some fitted pieces for improving clearance with a BBC. Works with his mounts.

    The other option is a set back insert, several sell them.

    Nick,

    Thanks for the heads up. My mailing address is now the same as the physical Norwood address.

    Anyway we have what you need. http://www.hotroddynamics.com/shop/v....php?groupid=0

    These firewalls have been very popular and we have many customers using them with big blocks. Let me know if you need anything.




    Thanks,

    Joe
