I am going to put a 350 into my Apache 10, I currently have a 235 in the truck, with a 3 speed manual tranny. I recently fitted the 235,sold to me as a "good one" ....smokes worse than the one that came out....great!
What parts will I need to change the motor?
I can get a bellhousing with the hydraulic clutch......my Apache has hydraulic clutch (1961)
I can get a manual flywheel.
What other parts am I going to need?.... is it a fairly straight forward job?.....
I know that I will need the V8 engine mount kit, and the exhaust will need to be modified.
Are there any other things I should be aware of???
Please let me know, all advice will be greatfully received.

Can you tell me if my flywheel/clutch assembly will fit onto a 350?
Thank you,

Any advice for this motor change?
Can anyone show me in a picture what the engine mounts for a V8 should look like in a 1961 Apache?..... are they still available?..... will I have to fit one of those crossmember motor mounts instead?
Please let me know, someone must have put a 350 into an Apache with a 235.

There are many options for motor mounts. check the speedway website, motor mounts is one of the popular searches there. | | |
