The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop switching from a 235 I-6 to a 350 V-8

Hello I am working on my 1961 4x4 and the 235 that is currently in it leaks antifreeze into the oil real bad plus I just wont a little more powerit has a 4 speed manual that I plan to keep in it. What I am wondering about is what motor mounts will work for my application, also what can I do to get decent milage out of it when it is to the driveing stage of the project I am unsure of the rearend. Thanks Any help will be appreciated

easiest way to go about it would be find a 61 [or that series anyway] at a wreckers that had a V8 and scoop the mounts and anything else that's different tween 6 and 8 - for good mileage, keep it well tuned and keep yer foot outta the carb! not sure about the rear gears, as w/ 4x4 I understand ya gotta have the right ratios front and rear [same?]
