The title is a bit false... I actually do have an engine, two in fact tho both are in the back box of the dump. not much good there I think. The original 248 seized with no engine covers and full of dirt and a 270 that "ran" 4 years ago but smoked "a bit" sitting on its side in the rain for 4 years too. Both are not worth rebuilding plus I have a 72 350 rebuilt for propane that I want to install instead.
I know its pretty straight forward to put the 350 into the 54 and thru reading here know there are kit crossmembers and mounts to fasten it in however I am unsure what bellhousing would work best. Do I need a new flywheel or will existing one work. New clutch? exhaust manifolds to make fitting easier(sourced a 265 manifold)?
All the propane gear I have except a saddle tank to mount on the frame.
Any suggestions to make this swap go smoothly or any tutorials online for guidance would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks
