I have just begun my '46 2-ton project. It has solid, if dented, metal and all good glass. My original thought was to drop in a later 235 and keep it relatively stock, as that would be easiest, if slow driving and not really useful. frown

My hotrod neighbor ('26 Studebaker, blown 350) is bugging my to drop a big motor/chop/lower/paint, etc. I mention this to my car-racing, engineer uncle and he tells me he has a complete '72 Eldorado 500ci drivetrain I can have for free. eek Now, this is really tempting, but much more complicated.

I seek wisdom. What do I need to consider before making this a truck that really hauls? :confused:


When I find out what I'm doing, I'll let you know if I'm in too deep.
