Hotrod Dad,glad to hear your swap came out AOK. I too am running a 350 in my 55 2nd Series.Behind it is a built 700R4 overdrive automatic and a stock 3:90 rear.The best of both worlds the 3:90 rear and OD tranny give me good performance and gas mileage,(20 MPG).I got lucky when I installed new side motor mounts,cause later on I installed a large HEI distributor and had just enough room.Although a lot of guys here feel that you should leave everything stock,I enjoy being able to drive at freeway speeds and have plenty of power and good MPG.My other truck a 65 shortbed has a 500 cu. in. Caddy engine,with a 400 Turbo hydramatic,it is also a lot of fun to drive.
