Looking for a little more show AND go. Car was an original 6cyl, somebody put a SBC in it now I want to put in a BBC and have a few questions.

I have an MSD distributer and box, can that be used with/in the BBC?
It is a car show car and im not sure what headers would be good for performance/sound/looks
besides motor mounts is there anything else that I will need to replace/change?

Here is the engine I am looking at

SBC and BBC distributors are the same...so whatever you have will work.

What kind of car is this going in?

If it is a show car, then why are you worried about performance?

Sounds like a lot of work for standing around and polishing your ....valve covers...

That motor screams Pro-Street not Pro-Touring.

Yes. I know. I also know this is a pro touring forum but i found it to be friendlier that some other ones. I want my car to be something in between a touring and a pro street car. If i am breaking the rules i can stop posting.

There are no rules regarding what you want to do with your car...it's your car...LOL

The motor mounts should be the same.
As for headers, Ultimate Headers makes a fully polished 321 stainless set for that I believe.. They're really nice and only $1395 for the fully polished version.
Otherwise look into something like Stainless Works and have them coated or polished.
