I am just beginning a 1951 3100 frame off restore. I want to keep the inline 6 look so was thinking of a 292 for the power. Does a 292 drop in in place of the 235 I replaced the 216 with a few years ago easily, without engine compartment modification?
If so, I would lile to keep the column shifter but go to a 4 speed, any suggestions or advice?
I'd also like to keep the floor starter.
