1952 1/2 ton. V8 upgrade to a 350 but I want to retain 3 on the tree. I'm having a troubles. I found a '54 bell housing crossmember and bell housing from a 66 truck. I have a Saginaw full syncro 3 speed with overdrive. Mustang II front end. Power brake booster under the floor. I cut my steering column just below the shifter box on the column. Now the troubles begin. The shift linkage hits the valve covers. The brake pedal was hitting the exhaust manifold until I moved the engine forward a couple of inches. I'm waiting on a new radiator with electric fan, so I know how far forward I can mount the engine. Has anyone done all of this before. 3 steps forward and 2 steps back.....frustrating. thanks in advance....
