I will be swapping in a 250 and auto trans in the 51 3600. The engine I have has a offy 2x1 with rebuilt carbs and complete linkage. Does anyone have experience with the overdrive automatic and an inline six multi carb set up?
This will be a daily driver with both my wife and daughter behind the wheel from time to time. So I'm not entirely sold on the multi carbs but they came with the engine so if it can be done I may try it.
