It will fit. There is even room for set back if you want to add some.

Hey Paul , pm me with some more info on your BB swap and I'll answer your questions. The swap is not too bad. It all depends on your skill level ,budget,and goals for the car.

It's pretty easy. The engine compartment was designed to fit it since the early 2nd gens came with one from the factory as an option. That also means that the parts you need are available as well. One thing to remember, you'll need to swap out your front springs for big block springs. The motor mounts, headers, and everything else you need are easy to find.
