I put an 8BA in my carrier. I simply cut a section out of the pan to make it higher. But even then, you will have to nip the engine rails a little to make it fit. You will want to use the truck water pups, and find the truck bellhousing.
There were a few other changes required, like finding a fan setup that would work. But when all was said and done, you get 15 more horsepower, easy access to the distributor, and unbelievable oil pressure. Mine starts by simply jogging the starter for a split second.
