Hey all, quick question. A friend gave me a inline 6 not knowing what he had, he just wanted it gone so I took it. I searched the numbers and came up with a 292. And it also came with a 4 speed Muncie tranny. What I am wondering is what is it going to take to put that motor in my '50 3100 truck? I can tell right off the bat that I will have to change the motor mounts on the chassis and I think I'm going to have to change out the rear end. What else?

As you said, you already know about the motor mounts and the rearend, toss in the transmission and driveshaft to replace the torque tube and that covers your basics. You may have to move the radiator a bit or switch to an electric fan- I honestly can't remember if there are clearance issues with the "newer" I6 upgrades; though lots of folks here have done it and better than me will likely chime in to say things I've not remembered.
