: Big Block Heater box and core

I've seen several places that carry a heater box for a big block Chevelle in their Chevelle catalogs. I've never seen a big block Chevelle running one of these but I have on the early Camaros. Is this just a early Camaro box? Would you use like a '69 Camaro big block heater core in one of these because the Chevelles only list one heater core for the non-AC cars? Just curious because I'm in the middle of putting a 454 in my original small block 1971 Chevelle and am curious if it would be worth the money to do the swap to the big block heater box.
