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.

You can find alot of 350 engines and 350 transmissions out there. You just need engine mounts and a trans mount to install them. I would go with the 350 engine rather than the 305 because they usually have more power. It would be good to get the engine trans and rearend from the same vehicle. Youll also have to address the rear lugs if you get a rear with 5 lugs. Hope this gives you some ideas. Good luck! | | |
