Hi,
New to forum, my first post actually.
I have a 49 Chevy 3600 long bed, that my wife's grandfather purchased new, that's 67 years in the family. I have a 59, 235 to put in it but she wants a V8, so a V8 it is.
Looking to do this with the stock steering and suspension, so the steering box stays. I would like to avoid the pitfalls that I might encounter with this swap. What are the best front mounts? Haven't decided on trans yet, but probably a t/h350. Exhaust manifolds or headers? Been a while since I did a engine swap but I remember lots of problems arise.Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.
