The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk '41 engine in a '41 truck...or not ?

I am working on a '41 chevy 3/4T pickup. Ultimately when finished I plan for it be driven to local car shows, parades and the occasional Saturday night in town. Probably 1,000 miles or less per year.

I don't have the original engine, but I do have a '41 216 that is in good shape. It would still need to be gone through before putting it in the truck to save headaches later.

So my question for your thoughts and opinions...would it be better to match the engine year with the truck year from an originality standpoint and potential resale value...or keep looking for a full pressure 235?

Thanks,
Chevman
