You are doing something wrong. People have been putting v8's in Vega's for years without ever cutting into the firewall . Post some pics of your issue please.

Yeah, a SBC is pretty much a bolt in affair into a Vega or other H body. The chassis is pretty much the same as a Monza which came with a V8. Certainly should not involve cutting the firewall unless you are going for some major engine setback.

im using stock motor mounts and for them to line up i thought it would be nessary to cut the firewall i have seen it done but can not find how
