Morning Trad,
Whoever swapped out the 216 for the 235 also put in a 12 volt system with an alternator. It's looking more and more like I'll be going the "Modified" route with a 327, maybe a T5 and upgraded suspension (Mustang II front and maybe a 4 link rear. I'm pricing out all the goodies I'll need to come up with a plan. The Muncie, from what I'm reading is a really heavy duty transmission, just has a first gear that's useless (unless you're on a farm or hauling a very heavy load, and no overdrive gear. I may be able to sell the 235 and the Muncie to someone looking to do a "restoration". It's been suggested in another forum that the rear end may have been from a sedan given the 5 lug rims. Right now the plan is to put it in the garage up on jack stands and start disassembly and see what's actually there.
