It got hit hard in the left quarter and spun the right quarter into a pole, but the accident didn't affect the drivetrain. Does anyone make brackets to fit the complete 500 setup in a '41-'46? I'm going with a Mustang IFS and a F-ord 9" rear on the stock Chevy frame. Suggestions???

I have a Cadillac 4.5 ltr which runs pretty well. I've been wondering about using it as the power for an S-10/Astro based all-wheel-drive AD pickup.
Probably just a crazy thought, but its a Cadillac in an old truck, so I had to share it here.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 132 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 132 | i think you're gonna find the front sump pan is gonna give you problems so start looking now for a eldo pan and pickup tube and i think you'll need the dipstick+tube.
might want to look at 318/340/360 mopar engine mounts OR build a plate off the engine to accept a chevy mount(use a HD mount with the locking tabs)
i miss obscene phone calls...

If you haven't thought of it already it is going to make your truck way front end heavy. They also require a large amount of cooling so that will have to be upgraded also.
I'm not trying to rain on your parade, just my thoughts.
