I'm wanting to put a V8 set up in a '53 3100 in place of a 235 6 cyl. The people I asked said they would just go find a junk truck with the motor tranny and rearend and just swap it out(probally 60 or 70 era).
I would like to have a 305 or 350. Any ideals on what year truck to get that the components will fit best????
Thanks Slade
If ain't broke Break it and fix it.
