I have a 1953 3100 1/2 ton with a 216 engine that is about gone. I have purchased a rebuilt 235 from a 1954 3100. The guy I bough it from builds hot rods for people and himself. The truck he took it out of was his and he rebuilt the engine so I am pretty sure of the engine. It does however have a split manifold for dual exhaust. I do not want duals. Can I use the manifold from my od 216 on the 235. Also, what kind of problems will I run into in mounting this engine. Should it fit ok due to them being a 1953 truck and a 1954 engine? Thanks.
