I've got a line on a '54 235 engine, complete, out of a one-ton Chevy, from air cleaner to oil pan, fan to flywheel. It also includes the clutch assembly and bellhousing. NO tranny. This is out of a one-ton that had a four-speed.
Will this whole assembly fit my son's '46 1/2-ton without a lot of drama??? What needs to stay? What needs to go? What needs to be modified to fit?

I believe it's covered there in pretty good detail. Also, check out Bowtie Bits website. They have an article out there that I believe explains exactly what you're looking for.
I guess you must have decided to keep it?
Good Luck with the project. | | |

You might have to go to a short shaft water pump, but that's it. Have fun George | | |

This is a low-mileage rebuild that is absolutely complete, and a day's drive round-trip. The more I fart around on this truck, the more I want to keep it, so I'm leaning towards hanging on to it for me and giving my '71 Dodge D-100 to my son to drive.
