But to put it on the tailgate is a no no. | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Now it's not worth $1,100 :p | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Hey Packhorse, what does the Book of Bolten say about this?

Then of course I love 53-59 Effies and I would hesitate to drop any GM or Mopar engine in one of them. Nailheads belong in Effies!
Why am I tweaked that way???

Good luck with your project!

And then to have a restoration that looks from the pix to be about half decent. What a bunch of work that must have been eh? And who's going to go for it? And 11K and not have met reserve??? Anyhoo, clevands are certainly good mills, but, sheehs, there are plenty of F1s around for that thing.... | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 640 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 640 | Looking at the ad, it's apparent the guy is a bad speller, "Dear" Drop Trailer, "bider", etc. Maybe he just misspelled Chevrolet on the tailgate. :rolleyes: | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 140 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 140 | In my opinion a chevy truck should have a chevy motor and a ford truck should have a ford motor on they projects I have the ford's have ford motors and they chevy has a chevy motor I was told that a 350 was the cheapest and most powerful motor to build

Personally, I'd like to put a V-10 viper motor in a 46 Studebaker chopped and sectioned w/ corvette running gear for my dream hotrod truck and keep my Chevy as is. | | |
