Default Why do you have to lift

I know probably been beat to death, but why do you have to lift your cart for a big block?

You either lift the cart, or lift the seat. I'm sure the BB is taller than the stock engine. But I'm a sparky guy, so don't take my word for it.

Vtwins are also air cooled to when you lift the cart it will get more air flo around the cooling fines unless your building a drag cart then is the better why to the Vtwin swapt

You can install a Big Block into a standard car, just ask Tom (CPP) or me

Would this entail a new/modified engine cradle?

I used Tom's (23 hp kit) in G16 madness and Tom's G9 engine cradle in Wilson. I did use "Perfomance" intake system on both (removing the stock air cleaner set up), till I installed the twin Mikuni set up on Wilson. There is room.
