I recently purchased a 1941 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup, it's in good original condition (6-volt) and runs. I want a truck I can drive more often than in local parades, and I now realize the limits the 6-volt, 216 with 4-speed (non-syncro) transmission. I would like to swap out the engine and tranny to something that is still classical (carb) but more modern. I've heard that the Chevy T-5 transmissions will mount up to a 235 and 264?
Advice? Lessons learned?
