If not, there is an inline pump with disc brake(probably) that you can remove and replace with a Brownie, OD, transmission, to help you with road speed, if you need it. Make sure to get a Brownie with attached brake, Tru-Stop is popular, so you will have a park brake.

I have been looking at the P30 swap and have a local with an aluminium roll back on a blown up truck. Wheelin an Dealin if it comes to that. I have a fresh old school built 454 ready if necessary but it won't make a good long haul motor. I/4 mile deliveries would be a snap though. | | |
