Unless I’m missing something here, the first thing that pops into my mind is why in the
world would you want to replace a V8 with a 235??? Originality certainly isn't your goal,
you've already created a "Frankenstein truck" by using '54 sheet metal on a '79 frame so
why not just leave all of the original '79 running gear in place. The V8 is a much better
engine than a 235 and you're not going to fool anyone into thinking it's an original truck
by bolting an under powered six cylinder up to an automatic transmission four-wheel
drive chassis.
