I will be instaling a 250 in my 53'with a T-5 behind it.I have been dooing the reserch on the convrsion and this is what i have found.First the 235/216(front mount) motor and tranny mounts are in no way compattable with the 250(side mounts).I have found 2 soulitions.1Chevy Duty and others sell a V-8 conversion crossmember made for side mount motors I have been told this also works with the side mount 250.They also sell a universal tranny mount crossmember.2Langdons Stovebolt sells a set of mounts to adapt 250 to early chevy frames it looks a little more like original equipment,but you will still need the universal trans mount or something that will work with your bell houseing or trans(I am not familliar with your trans/bellhousing)then if you still have the closed driveline the rearend will need to be changed.Next you will loose your foot starter.Clutch linkage will also need modifcation I haven't reserched that yet.Raidaitor looks like it will work fine after finding the right hose combination.Cappiliay line for original temprature gage is to short I have been looking into that C.D. sells one with a extended line.Thats about all I can think of at the moment,I am sure others have done this an will chime in. Good luck Aaron | | |
