Any in put other than the bell houseing mount and 12 volt and radiator modifications? Thank you. The truck was a piece of rust whith a 51 some where in there 3 years ago so as far as ruining it, its already been there. and the repro parts aren't perfect. Its a driver with a stock frame and body. In other words I don't feel a 250 is a hack but a rebirth of some thing that could go back to the earth or find me. So have any of you done this? Way thank you!  O. The town of Sedro Wooley mamouth thanks you all as well. | | |

The clutch linkage is an easy fab as is the new transmission cross member. I have seen this swap a couple of times. A guy name Rob Atkins with Split Window Restorations down here in Portland has a '51-ish set up this way and it is nice transplant. | | |

He's the stuff but I like the G.M. rear end. By the way, way cool C.O.E. If I could get one and keep my wife...well you know the story. O | | |
