The '53 engine is a low pressure babbit-pounding motor which has a number of disadvantages compared to the post-'54 engines, so many of the wiser guys would recommend that you try to find a slightly newer engine.
This question would have gotten a lot of quicker replies on the General Truck Talk Forum...
Have you bought it?
