Hey yall! I am looking at buying a 46 Chevy PU, but before I lay down the money I wanted to ask the following questions to make sure that I won't get in over my head.

1) Is there a kit that someone makes to swap in a small block and auto tranny into the truck with minimal cutting a modification?

2) What would be a good used axle to use in the rear? I.E. What year and make donnor vehicle?

3) When installing a V8 and auto tranny, will I have to cut the floor or firewall?

I know it is a sin to get rid of a good ol' stovebolt, but I all ready have a couple of the sixers and am in need of cheaper horsepower and better fuel economy.

I'd like to make a rod out of it. Picture a raked, satin black, pin striped, WWW tired, banjo steering wheeled, indian blanketed, caddy air cleanered, 327 powered 46 Pickup cruzin down main street on a cool autumn night!!!!

Let me know what you think and thanks in advance for letting me pick your brain!!!
