My original intent was to do an IFS swap and keep the 235. I didn't use a clip, but the IFS from a '79 half ton. As a matter of fact, I installed the IFS with the six still in it. But after I started, everything kinda snow balled and I ended up swapping the 235 for a 327. However, plenty of guys modify the suspensions and still keep the bolt. I think it's kinda cool myself. A good running six with dual carbs and Fentons really stand out from the crowd! [/quote]
I have a newer 4x4 truck as daily driver. I don't need a whole bunch of power. I have a T-5 i got cheap and picked a excellent Trans Am clip for $100. I thinking of a truck my wife would enjoy driving and could carry something in the back. I don't mind the old steering as it kind fun to wrestle around. I am in the process of painting the truck this week if all goes well.
The stove bolt has a cool factor especially with a split manifold.
Thanks
