How do I put a 454 in a 1969 Chevy Nova and get the tie rods to clear the oil pan?

I have a 1969 Chevy Nova with a 454 from a 77 Suburban. The car is not currently running, but I am slowly getting there. However, when turning the steering wheel, the tie rods bump against the oil pan and wheels only can turn a small amount. Has anybody delt with this before and how? It does not have power steering. The car was originally a V6. Will changing the front springs (something I am going to do anyway) help?How do I put a 454 in a 1969 Chevy Nova and get the tie rods to clear the oil pan?
a simple oil pan swap will work or if you are a fabricator you couold build a custom motor mount to raise the engine a friend of mine had a 70 nova and 502 with oversized 8 quart oil pan instead of ditching the pan i made hime a set of mounts its really not that hard with plasma cutter and tigHow do I put a 454 in a 1969 Chevy Nova and get the tie rods to clear the oil pan?
CHEVY was putting the 396 in Novas back then so there should be an oil pan available from Summit or Jegs that will work.
convert the steering to a rack and pinion unit instead of the old steering box
sounds like a chore to me. i would suggest trying to find/or have made, modified oil pan. if you have leaf springs, you can get lift springs to raise it. have fun, good luck
sell the chevy and go by an mitsubish evolution it;ll be worth the money and time.
