Thanks for the information. I have a 216 from a car that I was going to use in my 53 pickup. I need to drill the holes and was working on ideas to do it.
Like you wodniw5, I was thinking of dropping the engine onto the frame of the 53 and marking where the holes needed to be.
Do I have to use carriage bolts or can the holes be round and I use hardened bolts?
I have a full pressure 235 in the shop being rebuilt. It will have the correct front plate so this 216 is a 'driver' engine.
Thanks for letting me get in on this.
