I was wondering what it would take to get this cool computer controlled beast in my 58. I seriously doubt it would bolt up to the old 3 on the tree tranny, so I'd need a modern transmission as well.
Anyone know a source for info on this engine? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 338 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 338 | Check out inliners.org, there's a guy who already put one in his truck. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 1,513 |

My only hang up is I need a truck to be daily driver, long distance reliable. It needs to start when it is cold & hot & every other time. I know the old bolts can be some of the most reliable, but new engines are too.
I've got some cyphering to do! | | |
