Hi guys !

The engine in my "new truck" ('72 C-10) is getting very sick...

A buddy has a supposed low-mileage (40,000mile) 230 from a mid-'60s car...

The 230 had an automatic behind it, my truck is a stick...

I'm hoping I can just swap the 250 flywheel onto the 230 crank and install a pilot bushing...

Are there any other "Swap headaches" lurking ?

Ultimately, I will rebuild the original 250; but I can't afford to have the truck down for more than a weekend...thus the swap...

Would appreciate any advice...


Thanks...
