Any advice for converting a 52 ton and a half from the original 216 to a 283 V8? I plan to get the motor mount kit from Jim Carter and I already found a bell housing that fits both the new V8 and the original tranny. And someone told me that using 265 exhaust manifolds avoids having to move the steering box. Questions I have are about supporting the tranny and moving/mounting the radiator. And has anyone converted to V8 and kept the original floor starter switch? Even if to activate a solenoid.
