I also have a 305 v8 that I would like to swap in keeping the 3 speed trans at least for now. Is this an easy swap and what will I need? This will be my first swap. | | |

It is a simple bolt in swap using parts from a simalar truck equiped with a v-8. I put one in my 56 & it was agreat driver. Painted it chevy orange & it was period matching.
