Well, it sounded like a good idea at the time.
I recently bought a 57 Belair 235 engine so I could put a hydraulic lifter engine in my 57 truck. I had the engine rebuilt and today's the day I was going to do the swap. It didn't take me long to see that this was going to be a long day.
The car engine has side mounts like on a V8. The truck has front mounts. The passenger engine has no place to put the front mounts. (They're not in the plate on the front of the engine; they're on the sides of the block.
What are your ideas for getting this motor in my truck? What other challenges am I going to find today? Will the tranny (3-on-the-tree) fit ok?
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.
Jerry
