After some consideration, my buddy has decided he wants to stay with a more 'classic' approach, and use a 235 with three-on-the-tree. Miraculously, I found an engine/transmission combo on Craigslist that got pulled out of a running '55 passenger car about 3 weeks ago, so we're going to pick that up this weekend.
A challenge I see, is that the chassis appears to be missing the crossmember where the rear motor mounts attach. So far, I can find online every other crossmember but that one. Anybody know of a source?
Otherwise, there may be some serious junkyarding in my future.
