Well....based on the lack of replies, maybe I should have posted this in the Engine and Driveline Forum. Oh Well.
Update: The old 347 is out. The SM-420 is almost out. The "new" 350 is on an engine stand. While I'm waiting for the V8 crossmember to arrive, I'm going to swap in an electronic ignition. Right now I have two hurdles to get over 1.) Trying to fit the donor truck's radiator in the '56 front end. I'd like to keep it because it has the connections for heater return and the integral tranny cooler. 2.) Adapt the TH350 yoke to the larger 3/4T driveline. There is a great driveline shop in town that I'll take the works to. I'm thinking about keeping the yoke and first section the smaller 1/2T style, and then "bodging" that to the larger end piece. The carrier bearing needs replacing too. I'm going with a Lokar floor shifter...probably pop for thier 'nostelgia' style one that looks just like shifter off the 4 speed.
That's all for now. If any of ya'all have any suggestions for items #1 and 2 above, I'd love to hear from you.
