Hey guys, thanks for the feedback and info.

I think I'll still buy the 292 but save it for an AD pick-up or burb I want to find and build.
The bellhousing and 5-speed may yet go into my '58.
The '66 Chev 5 ton donor truck has been stripped down to the frame. I'll see if I can get the crossmembers from it and if they will fit my '58 with a small block chev ( I have a 305 and a 350 on hand).
I have also heard that the crossmember from a full-size Jimmy or Blazer will work.
Any knowledge on that one ?

Thanks again.
