235 motor and std. tranny..eight studs on wheels
(maybe it's a 3/4 ton??)
Can anyone tell me if this motor will bolt into
my 46 chevy panel...thanks..

You will have to drill holes in the front mounting plate to match your 46 frame(65s used side mounts I think) and use the bell housing & flywheel from your 46 if you are going to keep the orig. running gear. the rest is bolt in. It's a pretty easy swap.
Good Luck

If your truck has 8 bolt wheels, it should be a 3/4 ton.
Are you sure it's a 235? and not a 230?

be a decal on top of the valve cover..

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

I wonder if anybody could comment on what the gear ratio would be in the rearend and whether it would have a front access pumpkin that would drop into an older 1 Ton or 3/4 ? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 | Truckernix, that year is one of the possible donors for a pumpkin for the AD series. However, the standard gears for the 3/4 ton with 4 speed will be 4.57. Usually need to find one with an auto tranny for the 4.10 gears.
